Rock n Roll

It’s only Rock n roll baby, so heavy

Listen to the words

Don’t they tell you something

They say I was wrong

Hear me baby, cos I die tonight

Rock n roll baby, so heavy

Roll me another joint, and I’ll tell you about my life

The story of my death

But don’t fret baby, it’s only Rock n roll

So heavy, listen to the words

They say, give into hell and sin

Make believe people go insane

Pop a few pills, Rock n roll

Listen to the words of my final epitaph

But don’t fret baby

It's only Rock n roll.

The story of the life is the story of the death.....quite the concept. It's only rock n roll, but I like it! Sex, drugs, and rock n roll....the slogan for a different era really. Still, the music framed my life and so many others.....it still does. Well written. Lydi**

Thanks Lydia

this almost feels like a biography of Mick Jagger...

yes, "it's only rock and roll but i like it like it yes i do"

i have grown up with rock and roll...had all of Elvis' first singles on 45's---the doo wop....the British Invasion...i definitely have the music in me...and this poem in me.

i gladly go insane...singing my last notes to my last breath.

With you there jacob. Introduced to the stones by an older brother and sister. Sort of inherited all of their singles and Lps. Glad vinyl is making a comeback.
