Lyrics
Johnny Reno shot himself
His sister found the note he left on the floor
Said, "I can't take life in this world anymore, got to go"
Fernando died in a cheap hotel
They found him there with the needle still in his hand
All his neighbors said, "I can't understand why he'd go"
Rock and roll survivors
The only ones who made it
We found a way to keep on while the rest of you fell by
Rock and roll survivors
We found our song and played it
We've gone too long to trade it
I wonder if we're dated today?
Had a thing
They tried to keep the pictures out of the news
People said, "those shooters can play the blues, got to go"
Mary lady bought 'em all
Sold her body to the boys in the band
And the social circles can't understand why she'd go
(Survivors) Beautiful losers
(Survivors) Got your hands in the air
(Survivors) All you dealers and users
Selling your life, sad soul, got to go (oh, got to go)
(Oh, got to go)
(Survivors)
(Survivors) Beautiful loser, all your dealers and users
(Survivors) They're the only ones who made it
Others couldn't take it, all had to go, had to go
(Survivors) Oh
(Survivors) Had to go, had to go, ooh
(Survivors) Ooh
(Oh, got to go)
Rock and roll survivors (survivors)
Your dealers and jivers (survivors)
Had to go, had to go (survivors)
Oh-oh, had to go (oh, got to go)
Only ones who made it (survivors)
Others couldn't take it
They all had to go (survivors)
They couldn't make it, oh-oh (oh, got to go)
Rock and roll, rock and roll
(Survivors)
(Survivors)
(Survivors) Rock and roll survivors
(Oh, got to go)
They all had to go (survivors)
Oh (survivors)
