Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news Well, I'ma write this letter Gonna mail it to my local DJ It's the jamminest record I want my jockey to play Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today You know, my temperature's

La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, oh Oh mama, actin' like my life's already over Oh dear, act your age and try another year As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder Rolling through life, to roll over and die Missing hippy Jon, salad days are

Breaking, hating till you lost it all Say it was your babel Say it was my babel It was my babel Tell all people Now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed

And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children, living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you

I feel my fire starts to burn The heat controlling my mind Sent from home overseas And into the unknown Barely landed in the jungle Sent on first patrol Sundown darkness falls Dig in for the night Ambushed in the dawn they came

New York, Vegas, to overseas Ain't nothing like rolling with a Georgia peach Don't you know that we're just getting started Ain't nothing really dropping till we get in the party Go head and take your chance, if we're lucky Everybody gon' be right here

Sha oobie, shattered I'm a shattered Uh huh shattered, uh huh shattered Love and hope and sex and dreams Are still surviving on the street Look at me, I'm in tatters! Friends are so alarming My lover's never charming

I feel my fire starts to burn The heat controlling my mind Sent from home overseas And into the unknown Barely landed in the jungle Sent on first patrol Sundown darkness falls Dig in for the night Ambushed in the dawn they came

And I only get my rocks off While I'm dreaming While I'm sleeping I only get my rocks off Only get them off Heading for the overload Splattered on the dirty road Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more

I can get back on, I can get back on And the next it's falling in on me One day I feel I'm on top of the world One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel And the next it's rolling over me It?s a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit It?s a far cry
