Rock and roll is gonna steal your soul
The good time's gonna die
Don't go looking for that moment if you didn't say goodbye
All those faces in the crowd
They're so proud of you
God, I wish they were
But no one bails 'cause a cautionary tale thinks you might get burned
You tell me that it's easier to say than trying to live that way
Sometimes it's easier to do than trying to talk to you
A newer voice like a hundred choir boys
He went looking for a sound
I got the word he hit a note nobody'd ever heard
Died before he hit the ground
All those faces in the crowd
They're so proud of him
God, I wish they were
But no one bails 'cause a cautionary tale thinks you might get burned
You tell me that it's easier to say than trying to live that way
Sometimes it's easier to do than trying to talk to you
You tell me you're so lucky with the cards
You never get the hearts
Sometimes it's better when you pray
Than when you get your way
