Sweet Electric - Heir To The Throne

Rock n roll is dead
I'm sorry I just can't hear it
If you got something to say, why don't you just say it
I didn't mean to be controversial
As long as we're alive Rock n roll will never die
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result
The system is broken
But I keep on going
They say that my ego
Is all that is stopping
Me from all the glory
That my talent promises
You know I'm money
So where do I sign?
There's millions of rockers
They lack inspiration
They put on their records
That radio stations
Have spun half to death
They hope there still a breath
Of Originality
Yappity Everyone's dying
Their Mouths are moving
But they're saying nothing
I'm not a God or a savour
but I know my words can be twisted
To change ya
A perception of danger
But still they don't pay ya
I believe it's time for a change believe it
Whoa
This city is burning down
It's all that you know
Whoa
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Whoa
Somebody's flying the flag
But nobody knows
Whoa
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I'm taking your bone
I am not claiming
That I am the greatest
The next generation
I'm sure they will take it
Much further than any
Of the ageing fossils
That currently hold on to
The flame they need to let go
The old guard is dead
The reason that rock isn't
Trending no more
Is 'cause they closed the door
On the new breed
To top up their pensions
And keep on releasing
Renditions of nothing
The bastards are laughing
They're overcharging
So tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me, No ?
Then why don't you get off your throne
And take off your crown and pass it on to somebody new
Whoa
This city is burning down
It's all that you know
Whoa
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Whoa
Somebody's flying the flag
But nobody knows
Whoa
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I'm taking your bone
I'm not suggesting
That we should be changing
The definition
Of what rock n roll ever was
No, what I am saying
We take inspiration
And paint a new picture
For our generation
Now Go!
Whoa
This city is burning down
It's all that you know
Whoa
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Whoa
Somebody's flying the flag
But nobody knows
Whoa
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I'm taking your bone
Whoa
I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me, No ?
Then get off the throne!
Whoa
I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me, No ?
Then get off the throne!
Whoa
I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me, No ?
Then get off the throne!
Whoa
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I'm taking your bone
