  • I want rock'n'roll
    But, I don't want to deal with the hassle.
    I know what I know but,
    I don't want to feel like an asshole
    It's direct, suspect,
    Insects have launched an invasion.
    Chosen, frozen,
    Poison in my vaccination, yeah.
    I'm gonna figure out what's mine
    And keep it close to me.

    [Chorus]
    Keep it close to me.
    Keep it close to me.
    Keep it close to me.
    It's supposed to be, yeah.
    It's supposed to be, yeah.

    I've got rock'n'roll
    And it used to deliver me sweetly.
    I'm not gullible but,
    I feel like I've lost it completely.
    It's direct, suspect,
    Insects have launched an invasion.
    Chosen, frozen,
    Poison in my vaccination,
    Yeah. I'm gonna figure out what's mine
    And keep it close to me.

    [Chorus]

    Let's make the most of it right now.
    Let's make the most of what we've got,
    God only knows where it came from.
    Let's make the most of it right now.
    Why is it hard to imagine
    Making life worth the distraction from now on?

    I'm gonna figure out what's mine
    And keep it close to me.

    [Chorus] Writer/s: JOHN DAVIS
