The Hold Steady - Rock Problems lyrics

The girls want to go to the party But no one's in any shape to drive So we called up your guy And when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride We get to the place and she don't want to dance She says she's not really into this track She wants to know what's going on in the room That's all the way in the back Back home we were listening to Catholic Boy And I got hung up on the people that died I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too fried She said I just can't sympathize With your rock and roll Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen I said I'll do anything but clean She wants to know what I like being better A trash bin or an ice machine Some writer's by the fridge said he didn't make the gig Wants to know if I was drunk He said some kids that he knows from the net Said the sound kinda s**ed I didn't want to stay in 'cause the walls were so gray You can almost feel the tentacles tighten I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too frightened She said I just can't sympathize With your rock and roll Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems Didn't want to go out but it felt really right when someone put on Heaven Tonight Had a moment in the middle of In Color and "In Black & White" Sing along to the "Southern Girls" Rip me out of my little world These are rock and roll problems These are rock and roll problems These are rock and roll problems These are rock and roll problems This is just what we wanted This is just what we wanted This is just what we wanted This is just what we wanted
