Comatose Rock & Roll

In the window of a corner bar

thoughts came flurrying in as if the circus wasn't far

and when the end of time is sitting across from you

theres not much to talk about

I heard there was a festival out west

where they pawn off all roseries and bullet-proof vests

there isn't time to go swimming anymore

in a years time we'll be in the ocean anyway

Louie sang his heart out til all was lost

fell victim to his own holocaust

The younger generations are listening to comatose rock & roll

and the pityful beings care less about their souls

your passed days are logged in their history text books

and the poets questions are worth a second look

Sidney played his `electric guitar

bloody sundays and young girls' hearts

and the comatose rock & roll goes strong

while the years pass by and the beat goes on

your misfortunes can no longer be your own

for the anchorman has told the world your song

theres no more meaning, no wisdom in my words

just like my body, they to will turn to dirt

so dance to the DJ's last request

and your eulogy will say you did your best

may the children yet, never forget our souls

and sing along to our comatose rock & roll
