lyrics

Geriatric rock star, old and greying
Don't you think it's time now, to hurry up and end the show
You flourished once, but now it's over
Your revival tour I'm sad to say did really blow

Do you realize what the kids all say: LAME!
Rock's no place for Viagra addictions and graves
Shaking in your hot pants your skinny ass
I would kill for this burlesque to pass
Pass the torch, man, for both our sakes get off the stage

I know you'll be angry at this suggestion
But, please remember, your weak heart and your BP's low
Take not offence, friend, none was intended
I'm simply speaking for those who'd gladly have you go

We both are driven by the same desire: FAME
However, you've had your fill and I'm planning on doing the same
If you'll not step down then we'll have no course
But to get Darwinian with a show of force
Please, sirs, please gracefully shove off and leave

Crowds cheering, sound searing, groupies worship me
You've had it, I want it, make way

Our spectre is going to get you
If you don't move it you're gonna lose it
So go away!

Showroom Toronto, Ontario

Showroom was a band. A good band. While Toronto is a city, Showroom was a band within that city, and received praise from music critics who themselves were human beings with feelings.

Showroom made music that made people want to dance, smile, reflect, run, walk, roll over, heel, and eat dinner. Their records were projected to sell over 1,000,000,000,000 copies. Outrageous? No. Just call it true. ... more
