"Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head"
I've always thought this part is about how rock music doesn't really sell anymore because it's an old art. If you look around the world, like in Europe, all the new best acts are electronic and have new age influences. Bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, and tons of other old rock music, continue to sell only because it's sold to us and fed to us. The fact is that the music scene is changing and everything is "all in our heads". Rock Band and Guitar Hero are good examples of old music being kept alive, when in reality this music has been long gone for a while.
"Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed"
To me, this means that rock music is just music, just like any other form of music. Attaching a culture to it is a waste of time and pointless.
