Casey Beathard - 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 (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 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 stage in Tupelo It's doing what ya want instead of doin' what your told It's a preacher burning records, tellin' folks they oughta pray Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and led the flock astray That's damn rock and roll Give all ya got ‘till there ain't nothin' left That's damn rock and roll 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) (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) That's damn rock and roll (Give all ya got till there ain't nothing left) That's damn rock and roll (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) (oh) 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 got 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) (Rock and roll) (Rock and roll) (Rock and roll) (Rock and roll)
