Notes: the song sounds best when played with barre chords
C G No one feels more alone that the children of a dying breed C G You never feel at home when you're just another mouth to feed C G I wanna live in geological time C G Because I'm still in my biological prime F C If nobody listens, then who's gonna hear? F C Dm If nobody listens, will we disappear? C G You flip a man a quarter playing songs on his guitar C G You're on a street corner, feeling like a patron of the arts C G And now the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll C G I said the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll F C If nobody listens, then who's gonna hear? F C Dm If nobody listens, will we disappear? C G I just don't understand why the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll C G I said the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll C G They're always on the phone and they always gotta have control C G And now the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll F Dm C The golden years are under attack (we're taking them back, we're taking them back) F Dm C The golden years are under attack (we're taking them back, we're taking them back) F Dm C Looking for an original voice but the beaten path leaves little choice F Dm C Dm F The melody that you thought you found reveals that she's been sleeping around C We were apostles, they were the high priests
G {C G F} <--played higher on the neck--
We lived the hustle, the keepers of the backbeat
C
We're under pressure to reconcileG {C G F} <--played higher on the neck--
Our point of view with contemporary style
C G F It used to be that the kids were the ones who knew how to get off C G F It was a yell from the swamp, now it's only coming out as a cough C G I can't sell my songs so I'm gonna have to give 'em away C G I can't sell myself since my hair started turning to grey F C If nobody listens, then who's gonna hear? F C Dm If nobody listens, will we disappear? C G I just don't understand why the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll C G I said the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll C G The high priests are calling all disciples back to the fold C G Because the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll
