Some Velvet Morning - The Madness Of Crowds lyrics

The shopkeeper closed up A town turns it's nose up He never cried when his mother died they say Began with the rumors Spread like a tumor His choice of songs, it gave the game away It's only rock 'n' roll It's never gonna' change the world Well I'm tired of this town Another hero dies The cheers are drowning out the cries I look around at the madness of crowds The shopkeeper moved on A high-street improved on But fingers point and heads begin to nod The town grows suspicious The gossip malicious 'Cos no-one here's above the Law of God It's only kiss 'n' tell I hear the Chinese whisper well But I'm tired of this town Another hero dies And the tears are drowning out the cries I look around at the madness... I believe you'd like for me to be the same as you Don't you know that life could be so easy But you see I don't believe the things they say to me To me it's just madness gone mad The story just plays on McCarthy to Salem You're Communist or just a witch by day Now let's keep a vigil And watch each individual For signs that they may deviate or stray It's only rock 'n' roll It's never gonna change the world I'm tired of this town Another hero dies And the tears are drowning out the cries I look around at the madness of crowds
