You can listen to an old CD You can worry 'bout the ex in your bed You can waste your time with TV But you can't rock 'n' roll when you're dead You can deny to be a fag You can be Nintendo mad You can sing for a revolution But you can't rock 'n' roll when you're dead When you're dead Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead And you can't lose control When you're dead So do it now without pushing dreams ahead You can go and pay for your bills You can take some time to feel sad Read old must-read classics But you can't rock 'n' roll when you're dead You can wait for green traffic lights You can argue with your mum and dad You can wait in a cashier row But you can't rock 'n' roll when you're dead When you're dead Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead And you can't lose control When you're dead So do it now without pushing dreams ahead Waste all your money, give your life a smack It won't be a miss Don't die with money in your sack Punk is a bliss Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead Oh you can't rock 'n' roll When you're dead And you can't lose control When you're dead So do it now without pushing dreams ahead Oh you can't go wild When you're dead Oh you can't be styled When you're dead You can still be mild When you're dead So live right now without oushing dreams ahead
