Game Shows & Rock N Roll

If you’re gonna make it in the music business today

You gotta go on a game show

Who would've ever believed

You’d end up on a game show

To become a rock n roll star

It started in garages, some were discovered in bars

People made records and drove to radio stations in cars

It started in a region, sometimes spread­out far

Everything changes, now its how you make the charts

Have an audition, better know your parts

One things the same, win the game

The girls will still tear you apart

Game shows & rock n roll

Who would've ever known

Who would've ever known

Game shows & rock n roll

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Would have never been sold

Ok it’s not all rock, some country, some pop

Voters call in, or you’re on the chopping block

The judges will tell you if you’re over the top

But there’s something disrespectful, from where I come

But it’s a game, would have never won

There’s’ more than a voice, guitar, and drums

Originality a part of the collective sum

Thank god for the legions, who do it for love

Game shows & rock n roll

Who would've ever known

Who would've ever known

Game shows & rock n roll

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Would have never been sold

No one saw it coming

Not popular mechanics

They talked about the future

Nothing this outlandish

It is what it is, don’t spend time getting frantic

Some say they never discover the truly outstanding

The young with old souls, don’t watch

Still love Jim Morrison

With his hand down his crotch

You see them in record stores, keeping them alive

Kids buying Led Zeppelin still not old enough to drive

Game shows, game shows

Game shows, game shows

Game shows & rock n roll

Who would've ever known

Who would've ever known

Game shows & rock n roll

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Would have never been sold
