Modern Times Rock ’n’ Roll (BBC session 4 – April 1974) Songtext
von Queen

Had to make do with a worn out rock and roll scene
The old bop is gettin′ tired, need a rest, well, you know what I mean
58, that was great, but it's over now and that′s all
Something harder's coming up, gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya, grab you hard, and make you feel ten feet tall


I hope that a big, new thing's gonna come along soon
You don′t know it could happen any ol′ rainy afternoon
The temperature's down and the jukebox blowin′ no fuse
And my musical life's feelin′ like a long Sunday school cruise
You know there's one thing every single body could use
(It′s not that I'm drunk, just staff in your locker)

(Modern times) rock and roll
(Modern times) rock and roll

Get you high-heeled guitar, star boots, and some groovy clothes
Get a hairpiece on your chest and a ring through your nose
Find a nice little man who says he's gonna make you a real big star
Stars in your eyes, hands in your pants, think you should go far
Everybody in this bum-sucking world is gonna know just who you are
Look out
