Paroles
Way back in 1964
We came crashing through the door
I had the drugs, the girls, the boys
You couldn’t hear above the noise
Of every screaming little girl
The sound exploding ’round the world
We all thought it was so new
It wasn’t true, it’s all the same
The beat goes on again and again
So now the dirty pretty things
Are fixing up with broken strings
But like a bullet to the brain
There’s no more pain, the beat goes on
You have your day, then your day is done
It’s nothing new, it’s all the same
The beat goes on again and again
(it does!)
Back in the day we stole the blues
The gas of delta lit the fuse
The [???] [turned?], the flaming dies
But it’s alright, you know it’s true
The beat goes on inside me and you
It’s nothing new, it’s all the same
The beat goes on again and again
(again! again!)
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
The beat goes on and on and on, the beat goes on and on and on…
