Say Goodbye 2 Rock and Roll

from Dealing With People by John Kay

/

lyrics

Say goodbye to rock and roll
It came and had its time
All the songs have been written before
There are no words left to rhy-

Rock and roll won't die
But it will kill me if I
Don't leave it behind
In the dawning of my life

Say goodbye to all old lovers
You couldn't give them what they need
There is no chord progression for the heart
But it responds to melody
So say goodbye to rock and roll
You really gave it all your best
Stay in touch with those who love you
And fuck all the re-

Rock and roll won't die
But it will kill me if I
Don't leave it behind
In the dawning of my life
So I'll give it a try
This poetry I've been waiting all these years to write

Rock and roll won't die
But it will kill me if I
Don't leave it behind
In the dawning of my life
And I'm so terrified
To leave you behind
But I'm not too scared to try
And I'm so glad that I
Remembered that I
Was happy once in life
So say your goodbyes
And dry all your eyes
'Cause I'm leaving for a while
And when I come back
I hope you react
With a big hug and a sorry
