Once Upon a Time They Called That Rock 'n Roll
I can't shake this feeling that I'm full of shit
It makes me nauseous, but I can't quit
I'm kicking ass and I'm taking names
The biggest cock in these reindeer games
I wow the crowd with my original opinions
They seem so deep and woke if you don't really listen
But it's just music, and I'm just bitching
Out on a rooftop somewhere in Brooklyn
And these days they say the music's got no soul
Yeah, these days just aren't like the days of old
And they'll try to make you choose between the red and blue
So scream in their faces, "Two things can be true!"
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
And I guess I'm guilty
Of buying into a dated daydream
Just bought these blue jeans, they're too tight for me
Thought I was different, but I'm just boring
There's a barcode on everything I've ever owned
A sell-by date on every miracle I've known
The gods are sellouts, and I'm on my knees
My revelation, now served with cheese
And these days they say the music's got no soul
(Music's got no soul)
Yeah, these days just aren't like the days of old
(Aren't like days of old)
And they'll try to make you choose between the red and blue
So scream in their faces, "Two things can be true!"
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
You thought the present was unconcerning
Netflix and chilling while Rome was burning
While you were pining for revolution
Forgot the world was already turning
Love don't come for free, you've gotta to pay your dues
Be careful what you wish for, now it's coming true
Time to stop trying to be ironic
Cuz like Alanis, well I'm just wrong
And these days they say the music's got no soul
(Music's got no soul)
Yeah, these days just aren't like the days of old
(Aren't like days of old)
And they'll try to make you choose between the red and blue
So scream in their faces, "Two things can be true!"
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
It makes me nauseous, but I can't quit
I'm kicking ass and I'm taking names
The biggest cock in these reindeer games
I wow the crowd with my original opinions
They seem so deep and woke if you don't really listen
But it's just music, and I'm just bitching
Out on a rooftop somewhere in Brooklyn
And these days they say the music's got no soul
Yeah, these days just aren't like the days of old
And they'll try to make you choose between the red and blue
So scream in their faces, "Two things can be true!"
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
And I guess I'm guilty
Of buying into a dated daydream
Just bought these blue jeans, they're too tight for me
Thought I was different, but I'm just boring
There's a barcode on everything I've ever owned
A sell-by date on every miracle I've known
The gods are sellouts, and I'm on my knees
My revelation, now served with cheese
And these days they say the music's got no soul
(Music's got no soul)
Yeah, these days just aren't like the days of old
(Aren't like days of old)
And they'll try to make you choose between the red and blue

Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll

So scream in their faces, "Two things can be true!"
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
Once upon a time they called that rock and roll
