Rock n Roll Is a Vicious Game

He rocked his way through yesterday
Lord he thought he had a chance
He played guitar and wrote some tunes
Of love and romance
He did his share of travelin'
Like a dog without a home
A fugitive who would rather give
A star that never shone
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
No one ever warned the boy
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh yeah
He said he wouldn't get led around
Or caught up in the games
Or end up in a gallery
Of faces with no names
And rock n' roll was in his soul
And music was a friend
He recorded a song that made us sing along
And he was on the road again
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
No one ever warned the boy
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Stage fright, and long black limousines
He's pushing himself a way too hard
Or so it seems
He opened up his heart to us
He gave us what he could
We symphathized and harmonized
He made us all feel good
But it's funny how those things can change
And time can pass us by
Songs that moved us so easily
No longer make us cry
Now isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
No one ever warned the boy
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
Rock n' roll is a vicious game
