Chorus
Listen to the rock stars now dead
Speaking from the Fifth Dimension.
They've got a word to the wise to give
About the world's seduction.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 1
Their spirits long to now express
These words of truth today:
They hung their hopes on shallow success,
That sucked their lives away.

Verse 1
"I'm Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones;
I died a drunk while driving home."
"I'm Jimi Hendrix, I o.d.'d on smack;
My electric guitar couldn't fill my lack."
"I'm John Lennon, I'm the one who said, ‘Imagine
There's no Heaven or religion.'
I put a lot of faith in man,
And was murdered by a Beatles’ fan."

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 2
"Our spirits long to now express
These words of truth today:
We hung our hopes on shallow success
That sucked our lives away.

Verse 2
"Drummer for ‘The Who,’ I'm Keith Moon,
Who drove too fast, & died too soon."
"I'm Janis Joplin who sang the Blues,
I drowned my life in moonshine booze."
"While the Carpenters' songs were a phenomena,
I, Karen, died of anorexia."
"I'm Elvis, the king of rock 'n' roll,
Who fed my body, but starved my soul."

Bridge 3
"We drank from cups of worldly fame,
We were worshipped & idolized.
Oh, heed our voices from beyond the grave,
Don't follow our demise."

Repeat Chorus

Lead out
Listen to the rock stars now dead.
Listen to the rock stars now dead.
Listen to the rock stars now dead.
Listen to the rock stars now dead.
Listen!
