No one feels more alone than
The children of a dying breed
You never feel at home when you're
Just another mouth to feed
I wanna live in geological time
Because I'm still in my biological primeIf nobody listens then who's gonna hear?
If nobody listens, will we disappear?You flip a man a quarter
Playing songs on his guitar
You're on a street corner
Feeling like a patron of the artsAnd now the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and roll
I said the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and rollIf nobody listens then who's gonna hear?
If nobody listens, will we disappear?I just don't understand
Why the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and roll
I said the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and rollThey're always on the phone and
They always gotta have control
And now the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and rollThe golden years are under attack
(We're taking them back, we're taking them back)
The golden years are under attack
(We're taking them back, we're taking them back)Looking for an original voice
But the beaten path leaves little choice
The melody that you thought you found
Reveals that she's been sleeping aroundWe were apostles, they were the high priests
We lived the hustle, the keepers of the back beat
We're under pressure to reconcile
Our point of view with contemporary styleIt used to be that the kids were the ones
Who knew how to get off
It was a yell from the swamp
Now it's only coming out as a coughI can't sell my songs so I'm
Gonna have to give them away
I can't sell myself since my hair
Started turning to grayIf nobody listens then who's gonna hear?
If nobody listens, will we disappear?I just don't understand
Why the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and roll
I said the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and rollThe high priests are calling
All disciples back to the fold
Because the kids don't know
How to dance to rock and roll
