The record-playing man lost his status with the band
Well he might seem obscure, but he's ain't tortured
One step behind, but I think you'll find
His happiness is something we can't measure
The girl who used to sing in perfect harmony
She finds herself alone without another
Futile from the start, though she sang with all her heart
She finds a way to tell herself it's worth it
Well, didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you're feeling your soul, and you just can't let it go
Didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you feel it in your soul and you just can't let it go
The business of the businessman was not determined by demand,
But rather by the cast of his inventions
Tenures rarely realized, though he feels he's compromised
He doesn't pay the market no attention
The movie-acting man, left his business for the band
In hopes it would dispel his past misfortune
Although at first it seems amiss, I'm afraid I must insist
That he's happy playing drums in his new punk band
Well, didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you're feeling your soul, and you just can't let it go
Didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you feel it in your soul and you just can't let it go
The average man it seems, who's only seen behind the scenes
He finally found himself a sense of virtue
Though his family's doing fine, I think he'd rather spend his time
In a motel, in a bed with his new girlfriend
Didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you're feeling your soul, and you just can't let it go
Didn't you know?
It's not like rock and roll
When you feel it in your soul and you just can't let it go
