Voodoo Blue - The Great Escape lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4 Sold your system for a ticket To a concert a year away Nothing beat the thrill of a rock show But now it's so cliche There was 1 band for everyone You'd never leave until its done Defend your right to escape for the night Where the hell is rock and roll Happy times and letting go? I miss the songs that take me far away Where is good old rock and roll? We lived fast grew up slow I need the songs that take me far away Where are they? 'Cause back in the day The world had anthems With something to say If I could go back, back, back in time I'd watch The Who lead the way 'Cause back then there was no net The front of the stage was as close as you could get Now theres all access for everyone The damage is done Where the hell is rock and roll Happy times and letting go? I miss the songs that take me far away Where is good old rock and roll? We lived fast grew up slow I need the songs that take me far away, far away It doesn't matter you wanna die For tonight we sing it Your dead end job has s**ed you dry But tonight we sing it Tonight we sing as 1 1, 1, 1 Where the hell is rock and roll Happy times and letting go? I miss the songs that take me far away Where is good old rock and roll? We lived fast grew up slow I need the songs that take me far away Back then things weren't innocent When big hair bright lights And cigarettes ruled the world And made me want to play my life away
