[Intro]
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 followin' you around
It ain't long hair and tattoos
It ain't playin' too loud (No)
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

[Chorus]
That's damn rock and roll
That's damn rock and roll

[Verse 1]
It's a rock through a window
It's a riot 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 stagе in Tupelo
It's doing what ya want instead of doin' what your told
It's a preachеr burning records, tellin' folks they oughta pray
'Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and led the flock astray
[Chorus]
That’s damn rock and roll
Give all ya got 'til there ain't nothin' left
That's damn rock and roll

[Bridge]
When the Clash crashed the party
And the party got loud
And the party turned into an angry crowd
Drownin' 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
Blame it on
Blame it on
Blame it on
Blame it on
Blame it on
Blame it on
Blame it on

[Chorus]
That’s damn rock and roll
Give all ya got 'til there ain't nothing left
That’s damn rock and roll
[Interlude]
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Another day right here in Beantown
Loadin' the stage, loadin' the lights, loadin' the sound
Here they come, boys
They've opened doors
Count us off now, Boston

[Chorus]
That's damn rock and roll
Give all ya got 'til there ain't nothing left
That's damn rock and roll
Yeah, every ounce of your blood and your sweat
That's damn rock

[Outro]
That's damn rock and roll
Rock and roll (Ooh)
Rock and roll (Rock and roll, rock and roll)
Rock and roll, baby
