It ain't a needle in a vein, it ain't backstage s** It ain't lines of c**aine on a private jet It ain't having a posse full of hangers on following you around It ain't long hair, tattoos, playing too loud, nah It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt the establishment's trying to sell It's a guy with the balls to tell the establishment to go to hell It ain't about the money you make when the record gets sold It's about doing for nothing, cause it is in your soul Now that's damn rock and roll. (x2) It's a rock through a window, it's a riot in the street It's a rebel revolution, there's fire to go 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 of Tutalow Here's to doing what you want instead of doing what you're told Here's to preaching bout records til we both make our break Cause the Sheppard boy was guessing and led the flock astray Now that's damn rock and roll. Give all we got til there ain't nothing left. Now that's damn rock and roll. Crashing the party cause the party got loud And the party turned into an angry croud 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, blame it on... Now that's damn rock and roll. Give all we got til there ain't nothing left. Now that's damn rock and roll.
