Rock and Roll Is the Only Thing That Makes Me Feel Good

I tried transcendental meditation I tried trans-atlantic vacations I tried driving all night with the windows down and the hiss of the tarmac was the only sound I tried psy-trance festivals I took as many nangs as I could I tried taking on some biblical precautions, always wore my robe never had an abortion But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good Hheeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy I tried studying the lessons of love I tried studying the lust of drugs But I should have known, I should have heard love is a battlefield and the drugs don't work I tried drinking to drown out my past I could never make it last I tried standing at iguazu falls and watching all those positive ions fall But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy I tried trancendental meditation I tried trans-atlantic vacations I tried dancing through old age and on into death with a tattoo of Marlon Brando across my chest I tried reading The Marriage of Heaven and Hell But I never could understand it too well I tried transcending criticism but songs sound better in your head than when you're done with them But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good Heyyyyyyyyyyheyyyhey
