LYRICS
They’re looking right at you
From the posters in your room
They’re the song that you sing
When you don’t believe a thing
They’re the hope, they’re the prayer
When no one else is there
A little dreamer in the glow of the receiver
Every song he played was alright
Blew out the speakers dancing in his sneakers
Every move he made was alright
Swinging on a beam of light
Catch a star before it dies
What a perfect night to fly away
Goodbye to Vegas, there was nothing left to save us
So we drove away, it’s alright
Jumped in the sprinter, touring through the winter
Every show we played was alright
Singing out our life on stage
High enough to feel no pain
What a perfect day to fly away
Well I don’t really know what I know
But I’ll show you everything that I can show you tonight
And I don’t know where we’re going but it’s going alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
God killed rock ’n’ roll
God killed rock ’n’ roll
No blood on the stage, no Plant no Paige
Kiss ‘em all goodbye
God killed rock ’n’ roll
God killed rock ’n’ roll
No fist through the glass, no backstage pass
(‘Cos god killed rock)
(God killed rock ’n’ roll)
God killed rock ’n’ roll
God killed rock ’n’ roll
Your Buddy Holly glasses and your plaster casters
Kiss ‘em all goodbye
God killed rock ’n’ roll
God killed rock ’n’ roll
Your leather slacks and your hi watt stacks
(‘Cos god killed rock)
(God killed rock ’n’ roll)
They’re looking right at you
From the posters in your room
They’re the song that you sing
When you don’t believe a thing
They’re the hope, they’re the prayer
When no one else is there
They rock your mom
They rock your dad
(God killed rock ’n’ roll)
On the bus after the show
Staring down a lonely road
Everybody needs a place to go

one thing about Brendon, he did his way. no matter what was popular or what everyone else was doing, he made the music he wanted to make and made it with passion. thank you Brendon for always being interesting

[@woahjustdance25]

Listening to this now, especially given his 'retirement', you can tell Brendon used this album in order to do everything HE wanted. In interviews, he always talked about a dream of writing his own bohemian rhapsody. This is HIS moment.

[@henriqueboaventura8412]

Exactly man !

[@jeremyknifley]

Yes!

[@theengineer_16]

Yes

[@JimmyBeamerBear]

It’s totally him and his boys doing the harmonies they love doing. Like on the live streams

[@Kiwikid-zy7rg]

I think he is coming back to make music one day but he won’t use the name panic! at the disco

[@lukepurser3432]

This album has got a strong inspiration of 60s and 70s music. Kudos to Brendon for giving each album a unique sound.

[@gaylaber6371]

I find there’s also some 80s vibes

[@kalcriedpower]

i disagree.. this song maybe.. but if anything middle of a break up is like the stuff in the radio

[@lukepurser3432]

Butch Walker. Kudos to Butch.

[@phoebesmith9089]

Exactly what I’ve been saying… Which is why I’m not a fan. I don’t come to panic! for this kind of sound. His voice is great. They’ve just ventured so far from why I fell in love with them that I’m sad.

[@chaudragon]

This song is underrated as hell This whole album is underrated I like how this one is more rock and not straight pop like Pray for the Wicked

[@lewismossop]

This feels extremely QUEEN to me. Honestly made me think of Bohemian Rhapsody in a way.

[@christinafisher2340]

Exactly what I was thinking too!

[@aaronkwong6226]

structure sounds like BR for sure

[@cryalot378]

same but I love how it changes its theme throughout the whole song: it starts with "Queens", goes through "Brendon Urie" and then ends with "Queens" again

[@AmytheUnboxaholic]

Very Queen influenced and I love it so much!

[@thesyione]

This song for Freddy Mercury 🙏

[@MarkAzali]

This song (and album) is a real gift to people who have begged for this kind of sound from a modern artist. I can't get enough of it: the Brian May guitar sound, harmonizing, piano, changing time signatures, and very strong vocals.

[@PlutoPlays22]

This guy gets it🫡

[@lixxy.]

Thank You Brendon for saving me...Your songs have helped me through dark times A huge congratulations to You and Sarah on entering parenthood I just know you guys will be amazing parents ❤️ And in all You deserve this break and to spend time with your little family ❤️

[@danielkim2484]

This song is personally the best song from this album. It gives me old 60, 70 vibes. So underrated.

[@zemightybree4384]

Feels like this is the "goodbye" song before they even knew this was gonna be the end. The lyrics just sing his journey from start to finish. Absolutely love it. Thank you for everything panic! ❤️

[@maddie0807]

​​@@izstarlightmoongacha4758 i am sad because I think that behind this decision the real reason was all the hate he received😭 many songs of the album suggest that...i think he suffered 💔

The virtual concert was so much fun, it was great to experience the live concert again.

[@justineharper3346]

I was sad I missed it 😭

[@Kiwikid-zy7rg]

I did not like panic at the disco at the time, so I missed it 😢

[@yaross1]

It was amazing. I saw him perform at the O2 London Arena and he honestly blew my mind. Panic! Is my first and last concert. I hope I'll see Brendon Urie again in a few years.

[@thisisaally]

Urie has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek with this baby. An obvious tribute to Queen replete with literal Bohemian piano flair and Brian May-esque guitar.
