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
