Not Rock ‘n’ Roll
Lamenting a loss of a rebellious attitude among some people involved in Rock ‘n’ Roll, I wrote this as an observation and a hope that some would step up to the plate and challenge us. Reggae and grime are doing their bit, pull up your soap box and say something.

You say it’s real
You say it’s true
But it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
It’s got three chords
Hurts like the blues
But it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
There’s a steady beat
But it’s got no feel
So it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
It’s way too smooth
What L7s choose
So it really isn’t rock ‘n’ roll to me
There are no rebels, they went home for tea
No battles to fight, they’ve all gone to sleep
No proud generation, all set for defeat
No great burning passion, just bland apathy
You say it’s real
You say it’s true
But it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
It’s got three chords
Hurts like the blues
But it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
There’s a steady beat
But it’s got no feel
So it doesn’t sound like rock ‘n’ roll to me
It’s way too smooth
What L7s choose
So it really isn’t rock ‘n’ roll to me
There are no rebels, they went home for tea
No battles to fight, they’ve all gone to sleep
No proud generation, all set for defeat
No great burning passion, just bland apathy
They’ve got spines made of jelly, no depth to their soul
It won’t change any lives and it ain’t rock ‘n’ roll
