Lyrics
Beatles and Stones
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.
(R. Pollard)
I've met famous people
I've sung famous songs
Famous people sing famous songs
And the situations totally fucked - totally wrong
Do you wanna shout at the devil?
Do you wanna twist and shout?
This is the lesson that i have learned
This is Fats Domino and Mary Hopkins
A quest for fire
Growing in the movieland anthills
Out of the dirt of a southern poorch
Rehearsal for the reversal
Loudly in the chaos of a
Checkerboard ballroom
Bricks and bones
Beatles and Stones
Don't confuse success with luxury
Success doesn't exist
Success is drugs if you want it
Got love if you want it
But no one wants it
Because flesh and blood is made out to be more
I want long hair
I want free love
I want no more war!
Isn't this the same old song
It's the same old story - Isn't it?
Beatles and Stones don't break bones
And words can never harm you
