Lyrics

Death by 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.

Jenny died of suicide

With a candle burning in her eye

But on my tombstone when I go

Just put death by rock and roll

John forgot what he was on

But he broke the needle dead and gone

And on my tombstone when I go

Just put death by rock and roll

I want to go with a shotgun blast

I want to go with a woman on her back

I want to go with balls, I won’t pray

I want to go with this bottle in my veins

I want to go out my way

Amy shot and killed a man

With a gun too heavy in her hand

But on my tombstone when I go

Just put death by rock and roll

Jamie had steel in her bones

But she burned away blood into stone

And on my tombstone when I go

Just put death by rock and roll

I want to go with a shotgun blast

I want to go with a woman on her back

I want to go with this sickness in my throat

I want to go killed by rock and roll

I want to go out my way

I want to go with a shotgun blast

I want go in a motorcycle crash

I’m on my own I don’t need to be saved

I wanna go out my way

And on my tombstone when I go

Just put death by rock and roll
