lyrics

The glory days of Rock'n'Roll are gone
We're not supposed to have any fun
and if we want to get going
we need to pull the strings

No big house and no cadillac
Will we ever get anything back
We are working statistics
instead of mystics, I know
I won't miss this when I'm moving on

I'm working hard to just getting paid
While all the others are getting laid
while this sounds pathetic
It's my ethics in life

Whenever we talk about our jobs
They're telling us to go sob
we won't ever make it
at least not make money
we won't break the charts
why not take a real job

We are still on our way
don't ever look around
Can't ever take a detour
to what we ever want
Don't ever block the road to our goals anymore
Don't stop us now, don't dare to try
We want to win back the glory of Rock'n'Roll

Ok now you say that ain't right
What I am writing here just seems light
Just prove me wrong
and I'll carry on as you tell me

I wish it all would be just a bit
The way we fancied on our way to hit
But in the end we'll make it
I'm sure we'll break it all
Just don't take away my will to make it at last

Ben Martin Sankt Pölten, Austria

I'm here to write, perform and spread music that has its roots in pop with influences from soul, jazz and folk rock. Ever since I discovered the guitar as a means to express my feelings in 1985, I'm constantly refining and clearing the channel through which I receive, digest and send out music. I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
