Asia – Requiem Lyrics
Artist: Asia
Song: Requiem
A. M. Radio Blues
Popularized, i.e. victimized
I’ve got the AM radio blues
And all the greasepaint guys in their nine inch highs
Sing “Don’t you step on my platform shoes”
No more imagination
Rip-offs passing for new
Only sick machinations
Trying to make a buck off of you, yeah
The sixties are dead, the Beatles bled
Now punk rockers howl at the moon
And if you defecate, fornicate, desecrate, urinate
You can have yourself a hit tune
No more proud indignation
I need a finger down my throat
Only self fascination
Another painted face to promote
Rock and Roll, I still love you
Was it only yesterday?
Have you all forgotten just who you are?
How you got here this far, is this the end?
Uncompromised, ergo, ostracized
I feel the viper’s fangs in my heart
And capitalization meets deprecation
Alas and alack, where to start?
No more damned resignation
Play it loud, play it mean and obscene
Only silent frustration
Rock and Roll, I still love you
Was it only yesterday?
Have you all forgotten just who you are?
How you got here this far, is this the end?
