Five Times August - Ain’t No Rock and Roll (Lyric Video)

Follow Five Times August: “Ain’t No Rock and Roll“ Songwriter: Bradley James Skistimas Publisher: Seven Places Music (ASCAP) Label: Baste Records Lyrics: Well there ain’t no rock and roll Ever since they sold out Rolling Stone All the words that were sung in the past Will never feel the same when we’re looking back All the old men sitting in their make up chair With their gold record walls really couldn’t care All the fame feels the same when you’ve had enough So they don’t bother standing up And there ain’t no peace and love Ever since the sixties kids grew up All the drugs and the girls and the cash After all the songs it was gone in a flash All those bad boy rebels and the attitude What a show, we didn’t know that none of it was true Only self serve anti-establishment We were all so innocent Because there ain’t no rock and roll And the blues has lost it’s soul All the punks gave the man control And every pop star’s bought and sold No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll And there ain’t no Joni, no Bob No one stuck around for their protest job All the stars and the big pharma whores Shilling for a check from their corporate chores All the actors say what they’re paid to say While the fans take the blame All the once cool fools that were me and you Well they pushed us all away Because there ain’t no rock and roll And the blues has lost it’s soul All the punks gave the man control And every pop star’s bought and sold No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll And there ain’t no Boss, no Queen Never was a rage against the damn machine No there ain’t no fighter in the foo No more rockin’ in those free world shoes All the high strung Neil Young wannabes Yea their silence has been deafening All the suits lick the boots of the government What they sang they never meant Because there ain’t no rock and roll And the blues has lost it’s soul All the punks gave the man control And every pop star’s bought and sold No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll No, there ain’t no Ain’t no rock and roll #FiveTimesAugust #AintNoRockandRoll #BasteRecords
