Album: Tao Of The Dead (2011)
Play Video
  • It seems that fifty years have come and gone
    Since the rise and fall of the radio song
    What went wrong?

    Need another bottle to save my soul
    It's been another dead year for rock and roll
    Who says so?

    Dead and gone away, it won't be back in this life
    But there's no need to whine about it.

    Thinning out across the waves
    Rock dissolves to pure cosplay

    The stage was set for kids to come along
    With keytar MIDI'ed and a Moog strapped on
    Dead retro

    We believe in a life where the pain never ends
    Please don't bore me to death with your vampire weekend
    Yeah fuck that

    Now we've lost our way
    It's killed our sense of real time
    With no reason or rhyme about it

    And as the nation turned away
    Rock devolved to pure cosplay Writer/s: Conrad Keely
