Rock & Roll Is a Vicious Game
April Wine
He rocked his way through yesterday, Lord he thought he had a chance He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance He did his share of travelin , like a dog without a home A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone Isn t it a pity, isn t it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n roll is a vicious game, oh yeah He said he wouldn t get led around, or caught up in the games Or end up in a gallery, of faces with no names And rock n roll was in his soul, and music was a friend He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again Isn t it a pity, isn t it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n roll is a vicious game, oh oh oh oh yeah oh oh oh oh oh Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines He s pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could We symphathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good But it s funny how those things can change, and time can pass us by Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry Now isn t it a pity, isn t it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah My my my, rock n roll is a vicious game, yeah Rock n roll, rock n roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
