Glorious Sons, The - The Ongoing Speculation Into The Death Of Rock And Roll Lyrics






Who needs Jesus, who needs Buddha? We got sex and we got drugs
Yeah, we got it all
That trust fund kid with Lennon glasses thinks that he's the chosen one
Yeah, look what we've done
There's a ghost with bleach blonde hair who walks around with half a head
He's a t-shirt now from '94

You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
Who put a gun to his head, who killed the rock and roller?
He's a t-shirt now but nothing more

Who needs war and who needs peace just get me on the TV screen
Yeah, tell me what to do
Small town girl on ecstasy, she's raised by fashion magazines
Thinks the pain is cute
An angel kissed the president, her skirts still blowing in the wind
She's a poster now from '62

You all wanted her dead, who killed the rock and roller?
Who put the pills in her bed, who killed the rock and roller?
She's a poster now and nothing more

4 shots at the Tyson fight, sirens scream and flashing lights
He's a martyr now, if he wasn't before

You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
Who put the gun to his head, who killed the rock and roller?
You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
You put the gun to his head, who killed the rock and roller?
You killed the rock and roller

    S.... S....

    Kurt Cobain of Nirvana I assume.

    S.... S....

    @Bg Stutes it's a metaphor, not meant to be literal.,."I'm a dirty Rock&Roller" is another lyric, from a diff TGS song

    S.... S....

    First verse is undoubtedly Kurt Cobain, and the second verse is probably Marilyn Monroe.

    Brett emmons is a lyrical Titan,

    C.... J....

    Kyle Harris TOTALLY agree Brett is a genius prolific lyricist and storyteller destined for greatness Peace & Love from the US ♥️🤘🏼💙

  42. G.... H....

    Once again well done gentlemen!! Can't wait for the new album and maybe a headlining US tour?

    G.... H....

    I've seen them so many times here as openers and headliners would be absolutely amazing

    G.... H....

    @Brandt Spies they play TWICE as many songs when they head line , and they're worth road tripping for.,. cheers

    G.... H....

    @davey boy phelan that's what bothers me the most is that they only ever get you play for like an hour tops!!!!! I wanna see these guys rock the house for 2.5 hours!

    G.... H....

    @davey boy phelan and there hasn't been a band that they opened for that outperformed them. I mean I saw them once with The Struts but for me they stole the show. Nothing beats Brett's live vocals.
