The dj spins the records on WRKO
But you must forgive him for the things he does not know
The world it has changed so much
Corporation damn my soul

Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll

Everyday on MTV you can hear the same thing twice
Corporation brainwash put my mind into a vice
Jokers on the airwaves
Pretenders on the throne

Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll

Ziggy play guitar for me
Give me my T-Rex-tacy
These plastic Gods and wannabe's
Will never blow my mind

The dj spins the records on WRKO
And you must forgive him for the things he does not know

Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
