lyrics

This is NOT a Hit Song
Cuz it's got my pain
Feelings deep inside of me
Driving me insane
This is NOT a Hit Sogn
I don't have control
There's no place on the charts
For the burning in my soul

And it's bye bye! rock 'n roll
So be gone!
And it's bye bye! to my soul
And I'm gone
Away
Today

I don't have a face for all the magazines
I don't have a look that is fit to be seen
I am not confident
I am not the best
I will always fail
If you put me to the test
I am not a model
I am not a saint
If you only see the pure
I will surely fade away
I don't see the light
I don't always know what's right
I'll never back down from a fight

This is NOT a Hit Song
Cuz it's got my pain
Feelings deep inside of me
Driving me insane
This is NOT a Hit Sogn
I don't have control
There's no place on the charts
For the burning in my soul

And it's bye bye! rock 'n roll
So be gone!
And it's bye bye! to my soul
And I'm gone
Away
Today

I don't have the money
I don't have the cars
I don't have the drive
I will not go for
I'm not optimistic
I don't see the reason
I don't feel the time
I don't change with the seasons
I am not the chosen
I am not the one
I'll never see the limelight
Cuz I can't see the sun
I am not a hero
I won't overcome
I am just a zero
Trying to get to one

This is NOT a Hit Song
Cuz it's got my pain
Feelings deep inside of me
Driving me insane
This is NOT a Hit Sogn
I don't have control
There's no place on the charts
For the burning in my soul

And it's bye bye! rock 'n roll
So be gone!
And it's bye bye! to my soul
And I'm gone
Away
Today

This is not a Hit Song
It's not about sex
Clothes, cars and paychecks
I will not be heard
Cuz I believe in my words
I will not be heard
They say feelings are absurd
I will not go far
They won't let me be a star
I'll put down my guitar
And walk away
One more time
Let me say

This is NOT a Hit Song
Cuz it's got my pain
Feelings deep inside of me
Driving me insane
This is NOT a Hit Sogn
I don't have control
There's no place on the charts
For the burning in my soul

And it's bye bye! rock 'n roll
So be gone!
And it's bye bye! to my soul
And I'm gone
Away
Today

It's bye-bye rock 'n roll
