Miracle Of Sound The Death Of Rock 'N' Roll Lyrics

Come on down to the city at night
And see how the people cry
Wish away the time
To the rhythm and rhyme
Of a lifeless lullaby

And everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
Swimmin' to the lands
Of the shimmerin' sands
And we drowned just off the shore

All these voices sound the same
All that changes is the name

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I'm not about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll
Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it
Sing like you're feeling something

Passing the hours
In the glittering towers
As the valves begin to shred
Toppling down
On top of this town
They scatter on a sea of red

And everybody needs a detour
To get off the same old road
Take a look around
Turn your radio down
It's there in the lines of code

All these voices blend to one Add the minus, come to none

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I'm not about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll
Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it
Sing like you're feeling something

Everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again
Everybody wants for more

All these voices sound the same
All that changes is the name

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul
So many sheltered shades of grey
I'm not about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll
Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it
Sing like you're feeling something
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul

Everybody wants for something
Everybody wants for more
We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again
Everybody wants for more
