Lyrics
The Heart Of Rock And Roll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Humpty-Dumpty got so drunk he thought that he could sing
Now every rag and glossy mag thinks he's the next big thing
Watch the floodgates swinging open
Now the heart of rock and roll is broken
Mary, Mary, only rarely have I heard such shit
But still the DJs give you three plays every nine minutes
Shall the truth be left unspoken
Now the heart of rock and roll is broken?
Jack and Jill popped every pill till every thrill was gone
They looked inside and could not find the will to carry on
My worst fears have re-awoken:
Now the heart of rock and roll is broken
