Love is dead dance is dead
Pop is dead grunge is dead
Rhythm and blues is dead

Punk rock music is dead
Heavy metal is dead
And rock and roll is dead

House is dead ska is dead
jazz is dead glam is dead
tin pan alley is dead

that motown sound is dead
reggae music is dead
and rock and roll is dead

We didn't wanna lose you
to the barrel of a gun
Don't let the drugs confuse you

Maybe love will overcome
Everyone and push that feeling on
!@&@e is dead, speed is dead

Crack is dead, weed is dead
Ecstasy is dead, LSD is dead
!#@#e is dead and Jesus is dead

We didn't wanna lose you
to the barrel of a gun
Don't let the drugs confuse you

Maybe love will overcome
Everyone and push that feeling on
John is dead Jim is dead

James is dead Michael dead
Janice Joplin is dead
Robert Johnson is dead

Jimmy Hendrix is dead
And Elvis is dead
Sid is dead Nat is dead

Kurt is dead Marvin dead
Nina Simone is dead
Rory Gallagher is dead

Frank Sinatra is dead
And love is dead
We didn't wanna lose you

to the barrel of a gun
Don't let the drugs confuse you
Maybe love will overcome

Everyone and push that feeling on, love is dead
We didn't wanna lose you, love is dead
We're still reaching for the sun, love is dead

Don't let the drugs confuse you, love is dead
Maybe love will overcome
Everyone and push that feeling on.
