Living Dead
you don't want to rock and roll
you say it's too old
I say it's grown
beyond your knowledge
beyond your control
I still know how to rock and roll
how to release my feelings
how to feed my soul
more than a faze
I ain't no trend seeking poser
no, it isn't easy
takes more than a beat
and mumbled up lyrics
but when it grabs hold
it's like a ride
ups and downs
side to side
might not be "popular" anymore
but don't you dare say it's dead
it lives on in my heart
as well as many other people's hearts
I can hear the guitar riffs from the grave
(woogah!!! woogah!!!)
I can hear the drums thumping away
(bump!!! bump!!!)
and those screams like siren calls
(yahhhh!!!)
it might not be in your top 10
but it's still rolls on strong
with or without you singing along
you say it's too old
I say it's grown
beyond your knowledge
beyond your control
I still know how to rock and roll
how to release my feelings
how to feed my soul
more than a faze
I ain't no trend seeking poser
no, it isn't easy
takes more than a beat
and mumbled up lyrics
but when it grabs hold
it's like a ride
ups and downs
side to side
might not be "popular" anymore
but don't you dare say it's dead
it lives on in my heart
as well as many other people's hearts
I can hear the guitar riffs from the grave
(woogah!!! woogah!!!)
I can hear the drums thumping away
(bump!!! bump!!!)
and those screams like siren calls
(yahhhh!!!)
it might not be in your top 10
but it's still rolls on strong
with or without you singing along

I couldn't agree more.... It'll never die, for me!! Integral part of who I am and what I love and have loved, for years...Without music playing, I am like a shell of a human being!! Rock makes up a big portion of that!
Really excellent theme /thoughts and the final ink, rocked, itself!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Rock music will always be a part of me. Music today is just so boring. There are some good rock bands still around but they don't really get radio play. I kind of think it's not because there isn't a market, i more think because the record companies want safe, cheep, and easy 😒 the story of how things are these days.
Thanks so much for the read. Party on Bluevelvete 🎸
