Johnny Q. Public - Reader's Digest Lyrics

Alice is a drag queen
Bowie, somewhere in between
Other bands are looking mean
Me, I'm trying to stay clean

I don't dig the radio, I hate what the chart's pick
Rock and roll may not be dead but it's getting sick
All over the world disc jockeys talk insane
Every town I play is like I'm wondering why I came

The Rolling Stones are trillion ares
The flower children, Paul bearers
Beatles said, "All you need is love"
And then they broke up

River took an overdose, Kurt followed so close
The whole music scene and all the bands are really comatose
This time last year, people didn't wanna hear
They looked at Jesus from afar, they say He's a superstar

Dear John
Who's more popular now
I've been listening to Paul's records
And I think he really is dead

It's nineteen-ninety-four
Teen Spirit has become a bore
Who's in power now?
I think I'll turn on the TV

The man on the news says Japan is gonna beat use
We shot all our dreamers and there's no one left to lead us
We need a solution, we need salvation
So they sent some people to the moon to gather information

They brought back a big bag of rocks
It only cost 13 billion buckaroos
Must be some really nice rocks

You think it's such a sad thing
When you see a fallen king
Then you find out they are only
Princes to begin with

Everybody has to chose
Whether they will win or lose
Follow God or sing the blues
And who they're gonna sin with

What a mess the world is in
I wonder who began it
Don't ask me
I'm only visiting the planet

This world is not my home
I'm just passing through
Not captured talking in between
