Once Legends Of Rock And Roll

To fame and to fortune from life on the dole
Loved Worldwide by teenage fans of rock and roll
At their sell out live concerts a huge noisy crowd
Thousands of their young fans their names screaming loud

The legendary rockers where are they today
Some of them died young where silence is they do lay
And the others are showing the wear and tear of time
With only the memories of their glorious prime

On their bodies drugs and booze has taken toll
They used to be the legends of rock and roll
Three of their band from drug overdoses have died
Which in reality can be a form of suicide

They did have wild parties of drugs, sex and booze
But this is the life for themselves they did choose
And only the memories with them does remain
Of what used to be for them and will not be again

The money drugs, booze and the sex and the fame
But this has left them feeling weary and tame
And time that rusts iron on them taking toll
The surviving once legends of rock and roll.
