Someone states the obvious
Someone sneers at all you love
Someone preaches ugly manners
excluding some, including me

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll

All feelings blunted, all passion spent
Everybody does what everybody does
All the broken promises
to recreate a status quo

This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
This is how I learned to hate rock 'n' roll
