Eric Church - That's Damn Rock & Roll lyrics

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 havin' a posse full of hangers-on following you around It ain't long hair, tattoos, playin' too loud Naw It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishment's 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 riot in the street It's a rebel revolution That's fightin' for peace It's 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 shakin' devil on a stage in Tupelo It's doin' what you want, 'stead of doin' what you're told It's a preacher burnin' records, tellin' folks they ought to pray 'Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson and lead the flock astray That's damn rock and roll Give all you've got till there ain't nothing left That's damn rock and roll Yeah, when the Clash crashed the party And the party got loud And the party turned into an angry crowd Drowning demons feel no pain Found Nirvana wasted shame Gone too soon just like a song Hendrix, Joplin, what went wrong? Need some answers, right or wrong Need something to blame it on (Blame it on [x10]) That's damn rock and roll (Give all you've got till there ain't nothing left) That's damn rock and roll (Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo) Another day in another town Load in the stage, and the lights, and the sound Here they come boys, they opened doors Count us off now Craig (One, two, three, four) That's damn rock and roll Give all you've got till there ain't nothing left That's damn rock and roll Every ounce of your blood and your sweat That's damn rock That's damn rock and roll Rock and roll That's damn rock and roll Rock and roll
