It ain’t a needle in a vein,
|
It ain’t backstage sex,
|
It ain’t lines of cocaine on a private jet,
|
It ain’t havin’ a posse full of hangers on following you around,
|
It ain’t long hair, tattoos, playin’ too loud,
|
(No)
|
It ain’t a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishments tryin’ to sell,
|
It’s a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell,
|
It ain’t about the money you make, when a record gets sold,
|
It’s about doin’ it for nothin’, cause it lives in your soul.
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
It’s a rock through a window,
|
It’s a ride in the street,
|
It’s a rebel revolution,
|
It’s fightin’ for pieces,
|
Burn baby burn,
|
It’s a brick in the wall,
|
It’s the first one to stand,
|
And the last one to fall,
|
It’s a hip shaking devil on the stage at 2 below,
|
It’s doing what ya want instead of doin’ what your told,
|
It’s a preacher by the wreck tellin’ folks they outta pray,
|
Cause the shepherd boy gets them,
|
And lead the flock a stray,
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
Give all ya got ‘till there ain’t nothin’ left,
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
Get some grass cause the party,
|
And the party got loud,
|
And the party turned into an angry crowd.
|
Drowning demons feel no pain,
|
Found a lot of ways to shame.
|
Gone too soon just like a song,
|
Hendrix Joplin what went wrong?
|
Need some answers right or wrong,
|
Need some band to blame it on,
|
(Blame it on, [x10])
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
(Give all ya got till there ain’t nothing left)
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
(oh [x12])
|
Another day,
|
In Another town,
|
Loadin’ the stage, and the lights, and the sound,
|
Here they come boys,
|
They’ve opened doors,
|
Count us off now Craig,
|
(1, 2, 3, 4,)
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
Give all ya go till there ain’t nothin left,
|
That’s damn rock and roll,
|
Gather round ‘till you’ve broken a sweat
|
That’s damn rock,
|
That’s damn rock and roll.
|
(Rock and roll [x5])
