Rock N' Roll Is A Vicious Game Lyrics - April Wine

He rocked his way through yesterday, lord he thought he had a chance 

He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance 

He did his share of travelin', like a dog without a home 

A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone 

Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame 

No one ever warned the boy 

Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh yeah 

He said he wouldn't get led around, or caught up in the games 

Or end up in a gallery, of faces with no names 

And rock 'n' roll was in his soul, and music was a friend 

He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again 

Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame 

No one ever warned the boy 

Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh yeah, oh oh 

Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines 

He's pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems 

He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could 

We sympathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good 

But it's funny how those things can change, and time can pass us by 

Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry 

Now isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame 

No one ever warned the boy 

Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh 

Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

My my my, rock 'n roll is a vicious game, yeah 

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
