Lyrics
Hey you why are you looking at me
Questioning someone's attention and interest
This ain't your revolution
Rejecting the idea that the current situation is a revolution
Set in your ways too blind to see
Criticizing someone for being set in their ways and not seeing the truth
It's been around for generations
Pointing out that the issue has persisted for generations
Styles changed as the years went by
Noting the evolution of styles over the years
But one thing still remains
Highlighting a constant element that has endured through the changes
Something that will never die
Referring to something enduring that will never fade away
It's how you changed that's what to blame
Blaming a negative change on someone's transformation
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Suggesting that resistance to loudness indicates being too old
That's what they say about rock and roll
Connecting loudness to the criticism of rock and roll
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Reiterating the idea that loudness is associated with age
You got nothing, you got nothing but a dead soul
Emphasizing a lack of substance or vitality in one's soul
You took the world on just like me
Comparing the listener to the speaker in taking on the world
Fearless mind and rebellious deeds
Praising a fearless mindset and rebellious actions
Then you found something else to believe
Criticizing a shift in belief to something detrimental
Look at all the contempt it breeds
Pointing out the negative consequences of the new belief
Your best years are dead and gone
Stating that the best years are in the past
You can't bring back the past
Rejecting the possibility of revisiting or changing the past
Buzz kill you've become a pawn
Labeling someone as a negative influence or hindrance
Your fads and trends will never last
Asserting that passing trends won't endure
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Repeating the idea that loudness is linked to age in rock and roll
That's what they say about rock and roll
Reiterating the association between loudness and criticism of rock and roll
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Emphasizing the connection between loudness and age
You got nothing, you got nothing
Highlighting a lack of substance or vitality
Cause If it's too loud then you're too old
Connecting loudness to the criticism of rock and roll
That's what they say about rock and roll
Reiterating the association between loudness and criticism of rock and roll
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Emphasizing the connection between loudness and age
You got nothing, you got nothing but a dead soul
Highlighting a lack of substance or vitality
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Repeating the idea that loudness is linked to age in rock and roll
That's what they say about rock and roll
Reiterating the association between loudness and criticism of rock and roll
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Emphasizing the connection between loudness and age
You got nothing, you got nothing
Highlighting a lack of substance or vitality
Cause If it's too loud then you're too old
Connecting loudness to the criticism of rock and roll
That's why they call it rock and roll
Explaining that loudness is inherent in rock and roll
Cause if it's too loud then you're too old
Emphasizing the connection between loudness and age
You got nothing, you got nothing but a dead soul
Highlighting a lack of substance or vitality
