Career (No Such Thing As Rock 'N' Roll) - Mott the Hoople

There's no such thing as me or you

Just the feeling someone had

When they saw shadows on the wall

There's no such thing as old or new

'Cause every thing's been said and done before

There's no such thing as rock and roll

No such thing as growing old

When the picture starts to fade

You'll hear the clowns and watch them cry

The great mistakes they've made

When the lights have all gone down

(Down, down, down)

You'll marvel at the speed that things turn 'round

There's no such thing as rock and roll

No such thing as growing old

Things are way beyond control

And I've been told

Try to cut you down

Take your soul away, cut you down

Try to break your heart

Take your soul away, break your heart

If you make it to the end

You'll find you didn't try that hard

It wasn't such a strain

And all those death defying deeds

Weren't necessary, it's really such a shame

'Cause all I've got is rock and roll

All I'll get is growing old

Things are way beyond control

And I've been told

Try to cut you down

(Cut you down)

Take your soul away, cut you down

Try to break your heart

(Break your heart)

Take your soul away, break your heart

Try to cut you down

(Cut you down)

Take his soul away, cut you down

It's all that can happen
