Let's all raise a glass to the rock stars of the past   Those that made it, those that faded   Those that never even made the grade   Those that we thought would never last      Singers come and go and stars fade away   They vanish in the haze and they're never seen again   But the music just keeps playing on      They can't stop the music   They can't stop the music   They can't stop the music playing on      I've been half a million places   I've seen half a million people who stare   I've been a star and down and out   I've been put on, sat on, punched and spat on      They've called me a faggot, a spiv and a fake   They can knock me down and tread on my face   But they can't stop the music playing on      Let's all raise a glass to the rock stars of the past   Those that made it and those that faded   And those that never even made the grade   And those that we thought would never last      Singers come and go and stars fade away   (You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music)   They vanish in the haze and they're never seen again   (You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music)   But they can't stop the music playing on   (But they can't stop the music playing on)      You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music   You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music   You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music   You can't stop the music, you can't stop the music   You can't stop the music
