only rock and roll

Success was just a fingers breadth away
and now you wonder what your going to do today
but you've got to let go of the dream
rehabilitation seems to be
for once such as i an impossibility
so i'd better let go of the dream
understand what i mean
it's a terrible scene
and when your walking home
will you remember what it was
when your walking home
will you remember who i was
when you get back home
will you remember that it was
only rock and roll
