lyrics

Today I turned on my radio there wasn't nothing on the air there was nothing but silence man there was nothing there, I turned on my television turned the channel to MTV there was not a single song just a show about some stupid teens. The day the music died. My band played a show tonight but there was no one there does my music exist if it falls upon deaf ears, whats the point of having eyes if everybody is going blind what's the point of having a soul the day after the music died. The day the music died.
