words & music by Larry Norman (c)1973 Colgems/EMI Music (Verse 1) Alice is a drag queen Bowie, somewhere in between Other, bands are looking mean Me I'm trying to stay clean I don't dig the radio I hate what hte charts pick Rock and roll may not be dead But it's getting sick All over the world Disc jockeys talk insane Every town I play Is like I'm wondering why I came (Verse 2) The Rolling Stones are trillionaires The flower children paul bearers Beatles said "All You Need Is Love" And then they broke up River took and overdose Kurt followed so close Tho whole music scene and all the Bands are pretty comatose This time last year People didn't want to hear They looked at Jesus from afar They say he's a superstar (Bridge) Dear John Who's more popular now I've been listening to Paul's records And I think he really is dead (Verse 3) It's nineteen-ninety-four Teen spirit has become a bore Who's in power now I think I'll turn on the TV The man on the news says Japan is gonna beat us We shot all dreamers And there's no one left to lead us We need a solution, we need salvation So they sent soe people to the moon To gather information They brought back a big bag of rocks It only cost 13 billion buckaroos Must be some really nice rocks (Verse 4) You think it's such a sad thing When you see a fallen king Then you fine out they were only Princes to begin with Everybody has to chose Whether they will win or lose Follow God or sing the blues And who they're going to sin with What a mess the world is in I wonder who began it Don't ask me I'm only visiting the planet This world is not my home I'm just passing through
