It'll Never Die
It'll never die, it's rock 'n roll
It's the way of life that will
You can't join and you can't quit it
No old soldiers home high up on a hill
Ain't no guns and knives in this war
Rock 'n roll battle for hell
You got your pills and whiskey
the head of a good pour
It'll never die, but it damn sure kills
Like a pine among the oaks
shoots up high until it chokes
I'm on the brink today
of writing something memorable (oh well)
(God damned ____ _____)
You can never tell
tell it what to do
ain't no rank higher
in authority
when the ranks swell
they get new blood
I can only guess
when they're coming for me
Don't sing don't line up don't march
to a differen't drummer's beat
Whether you're famous or nameless
you never go dancing in the street
[Hell... Hell...?]
Like a pine among the oaks
shoots up high until it chokes
I'm on the brink today
of writing something memorable (oh well)
(God damned ____ _____?)
Rain falls cuz it's tired
and the wind blows cuz it's hired to
you can't retire
cuz you owe money
it'll stand tall
no thanks from you
it'll never die
but it damn sure kills
(they say it's here to stay)
it'll never die
but it damn sure kills
(and a soldier's damned to play)
it'll never die
but it damn sure kills
(they say it's here to stay)
die,
but it damn sure kills

Sure hope I'm hearing the "wind blows" line right, because I like it. Could be referring to music business people, hired studio musicians, himself (singers), etc...
