How I learned to hate rock-and-roll

Someone states the obvious

Someone sneers at all you love

Someone preaches ugly manners

excluding some, including me

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

All feelings blunted, all passion spent

Everybody does what everybody does

All the broken promises

to recreate a status quo

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
