The amplifier's dirty from ten years on the road
Guitar's feeling heavy now, cause I can't bear the load
I'd like to be your friend, but I don't know if I can
Now that the rock and roll dream has died

What are we gonna do, now we're not rock and roll stars?
We used to dream so high, now we've fallen so far
I hope you find yourself a new job, a new life, maybe write a book or find a girl who is worthy of being called wife

Now that the rock and roll dream has died

I've been workin' at the WalMart from open until close
My back is feeling weary now, and I can't bear the load
But at least I'm getting paid on a regular day
Now that the rock and roll dream has died
