| Hey, hey, my, my | |
| Rock and roll will never die | |
| Hang your hair down in your eye | |
| You'll make a million dollars. | |
| Well, I was in this band goin' nowhere fast | |
| We sent out our demos but everybody passed | |
| So one day we finally took the plunge | |
| Moved out to seattle to play some grunge | |
| Washington State that is | |
| Space needle | |
| Eddie Vedder | |
| ……………………. | |
| Now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts | |
| We turn our amps up until it hurts | |
| We've got bad attitudes and what's more | |
| When we play we stare straight down at the floor, oooh | |
| ………………………………. | |
| Now to fit in on the Seattle scene | |
| You've gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen | |
| So thinkin' up a gimmick one day | |
| We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note | |
| Under any circumstance | |
| We called it silence | |
| Music's original alternative | |
| Root's grunge. | |
| Well, we spread the word through the underground | |
| That we were the hottest new thing in town | |
| The record guy came out to see us one day | |
| And just like always we refused to play | |
| It knocked him out | |
| He said he loved our work | |
| He said he loved our work but he wasn't sure he could sell a record with nothing on it | |
| I said ……………………………. | |
| Hey, hey, my, my | |
| Rock and roll will never die | |
| Hang your hair down in your eye | |
| You'll make a million dollars. | |
| Well, they made us do a video but that wasn't tough | |
| 'Cause we just filmed ourselves smashin' stuff | |
| It was kinda weird 'cause there was no music | |
| But MTV said they would love to use it | |
| The kids went wild, the kids went nuts | |
| Rolling Stone gave us a five-star review said we played with guts | |
| We're scorin' chicks, takin' drugs | |
| Then we got asked to play MTV unplugged, you should have seen it. | |
| We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of the | |
| Electrical songs we had refused to record in the first place | |
| Then we smashed our shit. | |
| Well, we blew 'em away at the Grammy's Show | |
| By refusing to play and refusing to go | |
| And then just when we thought fame would last forever | |
| Along come this band that wasn't even together | |
| Now that's alternative | |
| I say alternative to alternative | |
| ……………………… | |
| [Hey, hey, my, my] | |
| [Rock and roll will never die] | |
| [Hang your hair down in your eye] | |
| [You'll make a million dollars] | |
| Well, our band got dropped and that ain't funny | |
| 'Cause we're all hooked on drugs but we're outta money | |
| So the other day I called up the band | |
| I said boys I've taken all I can | |
| I said shave off your goatees | |
| Pack the van | |
| We're goin' back to Athens. |
