[Lyrics]
(1)
(2) Now the cover of a Rolling Stone
ain't the cover of a Rolling Stone
And the music on my radio
ain't supposed to make me feel alone
(3) What a drag to know
I have to learn to let it go
(4) Show me something I can be
Play a song that I can sing
Make me feel as I am free
Someone come speak for me
(1)
(2) With the celebrating broken things
I don't want a world of broken things
You can tell that something isn't right
when all your heroes are in black and white
(3) What a drag to say
At least I still have yesterday
(4) Show me something I can be
Play a song that I can sing
Make me feel as I am free
Someone come speak for me
Someone come speak for me
(5)
La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da di da di da
La di da di da di da di da
Yeah
(6)
I'm not mad about it
But I'm not mad about it
I'm not mad about it
But I'm not that mad about it
(4) Just show me something I can be
Play a song that I can sing
Make me feel as I am free
Someone come speak for me
Someone come speak for me
(Outro)
Someone come speak for me
Now the cover of a Rolling Stone
ain't the cover of a Rolling Stone
