Lyrics

Rock 'N' Roll Will Tear Us Apart

I like it soft and you like it hard
And I know rock n roll will tear us apart
But for now,

I stay at home and you go to the show
Hoping that a guitar man will save your soul
Don't you know

Guitar gods are all frauds
And rock star seems like a rock star dreams
You live your life like a work of art
Rock n roll is gonna tear us apart

I know rock and roll doesn't care
Only wants to tear us apart

So you take the chopper and I'll take the car
I know rock n roll will never be far
from my heart

With all of her looks and all of her hair
I wonder if rock n roll really could care
much at all

Guitar gods are all frauds
And rock star seems like a rock star dreams
You live your life like a work of art
Rock n roll is gonna tear us apart

Guitar gods are all frauds
And rock star seems like a rock star dreams
You live your life like a work of art
Rock n roll is gonna tear us apart
Rock n roll is gonna tear us apart
Rock n roll is gonna tear us apart
