Rock 'n' Blues Lament

[Verse] Got my six-string in the dust heap clutter No more music in this old gutters Whiskey blues and cigarette stutter Rock’s been buried under industry shutters [Verse 2] Listenin' to the radio static crackle Can't find no soul in this metal shrapnel Where's the heart in the loud riffs battle Man I miss that raw babble and rattle [Chorus] Yeah the blues got a hold on me Rock ‘n’ roll it's a faded dream Singin’ my pain in a minor key Bring back the fire bring back the scream [Verse 3] Gone are days of that electric grind Feels like the world left the good times behind Pour me a shot let the memories unwind Runnin’ from echoes in the back of my mind [Verse 4] Jukebox silence hit me like a train Nothin' left but commercial chains Sold out tunes man it’s a crying shame Rock ‘n’ blues ain't playin’ their game [Chorus] Yeah the blues got a hold on me Rock ‘n’ roll it’s a faded dream Singin’ my pain in a minor key Bring back the fire bring back the scream
