When the A side's over and the needle's up
Did you feel it when the music stopped
Were they songs that mattered
Were they not much cop [?]
Last orders at the record shops
Don't call it redemption
'Cause I ain't gonna be saved
Don't call it a comeback
'Cause I ain't never, ever been out of this game
It's a wasted sound when they dumb it down
And your heroes got nothin' to say
When they sound the death knell of rock 'n roll
I have one foot outta the grave
It's a wasted art
If it ain't got heart
And it's all about the money you pay
When they suck the soul out of rock 'n roll
I have one foot out, one foot outta the grave
With a quarter-inch cable and a flickering light
Young souls coming back to life
Did ya hear those records
Did ya dig those sounds
Coming up from the underground
Don't call it redemption
'Cause I ain't gonna be saved
Don't call it a comeback
'Cause I ain't never gonna be out of this game
It's a wasted sound when they dumb it down
And your heroes got nothin' to say
When they sound the death knell of rock 'n roll
I have one foot outta the grave
It's a wasted art
If it ain't got heart
And it's all about the money you pay
When they suck the soul out of rock 'n roll
I have one foot outta the grave
And I won't lie down for no one
No I won't lie down for no one no more
Won't lie down for no one
I won't lie down for no one
And I won't lie down for no one
No I won't lie down for no one no more
Won't lie down for no one
I won't lie down for no one
It's a wasted art
If you got no heart
And your heroes got nothin' to say
But the band plays on when the day is done
And I got one foot outta the grave
We're gonna burn your bridges
And break your doors
'Cause everything's going my way
When they suck the soul out of rock 'n roll
I have one foot outta the grave
And I won't lie down for no one
No I won't lie down for no one no more
Won't lie down for no one
I won't lie down for no one
I won't lie down
Won't lie down
Won't lie down
I got one foot out
One foot out
One foot out
One foot outta the grave
