Valdy - Rock and Roll Song lyrics

I came into town as a man of renown A writer of songs about freedom and joy A hall had been rented and I was presented As a kind of a singer that all could enjoy As I climbed up the stair to the stage that was there It was obvious something was missing I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed They weren't in the mood to listen They yelled out, play me a rock and roll song Don't give me songs about freedom and joy Play me a rock and roll song Or don't play me no song at all I played them some songs about peace and contentment Things that I've come to believe in When I was through to a chorus of boo Some track star yelled, thank God he's leaving Now someone play me a rock and roll song I've had it to here with your flowers and beads Play me a rock and roll song Or don't play me no song at all Well, if I played you a rock and roll song It wouldn't be fair 'cause my head isn't there So I'll leave you with your rock and roll songs And make my way back to the country Still I hear play me a rock and roll song Don't give me music that I don't want to hear Play me a rock and roll song I should have stayed at home with a big case of beer Play me a rock and roll song Or don't play me no song at all
