Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Glamorous indie rock and roll is what I want
It's in my soul, it's what I need
Indie rock and roll, it's time

Two of us flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine
Bet your, your bottom dollar on me


[Chorus]
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me

[Verse 2]
In a clutch, I'm talking every word for all the boys
Electric girls with worn-down toys
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
Oh, what do you care?
I take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

[Bridge]
Stay if you want to love me, stay
Oh, don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens
Let's make it, yeah, we'll cause a scene
[Chorus]
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me

[Outro]
(In a clutch, I'm talking every word for all the boys)
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
It's indie rock and roll for me
(Two of us flipping through a thrift store magazine)
Indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
Make it up, break it up, what do you care?
It's indie rock and roll for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This song is one big joke–really! The Killers' here are singing about how people thought they were indie when they were trying to be and succeeding at being a pop punk band in the early 00s.
