It's time to move along
The audience has bought the show
I can see the lights they're dimming
They got us on the case
Who killed rock and roll?

Where's that place of heroes
Place of dreams
Of memories gone by
Now all I see are shadows
In a clouded sky
Shadows of rock's demise

Who killed rock and roll
Tonight
Who killed rock and roll
Tonight

The dance floor's all but empty
The last song has been sung
And upon that darkened stage
Our search has just begun
