Letra Career de Mott original

(nigel benjamin/morgan fisher)

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 everything'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
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 your soul away
Cut you down
