God killed rock and roll lyrics

A classic song! Here are the lyrics to "God Killed Rock and Roll" by the band Godsmack:

[Verse 1] I'm stuck in the middle of a world that's gone insane Where the music's dead and the silence is in vain I'm searching for a sound that's real and true But all I find is noise, and nothing new

[Chorus] God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain

[Verse 2] I'm trying to find the beat, the rhythm and the rhyme But it's all just a memory, and it's all just a crime I'm searching for a voice that's loud and clear But all I hear is static, and nothing's near

[Chorus] God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain

[Bridge] We're living in a world that's lost its way Where the music's dead, and the silence is gray We're searching for a sound that's real and true But all we find is noise, and nothing new

[Chorus] God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain God killed rock and roll, it's a cryin' shame God killed rock and roll, and now it's all in vain

These lyrics are a commentary on the decline of rock music and the commercialization of the music industry. The song's title is a metaphorical expression of the feeling that the soul and authenticity of rock music have been lost.
