Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix - In The Name of Rock and Roll lyrics

Playin' in a band, you don't understand where the time goes Asleep on your feet in front of a crowd wearing strange clothes In the name of rock and roll In the name of rock and roll If you're gonna play guitar, play it like you're gonna cry If you're gonna play the drums, play 'em like you're gonna die And I'll lean back on my ba** guitar And dream about the day I'm gonna be a star Playin' in a band you don't understand where the time goes In the name of rock and roll In the name of rock and roll What you gonna do when the ruins start rollin' over you? And the woman you live with has left you to the mercy of the Lord And those fairground freaks, ooh yeah, they're tryin' to freeze you out And you feel so low, you can't even reach for the floor You can take what you want You can take what you need You can take my dressing room star But please don't take my Fender guitar In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll Playin' in a band you don't understand where the time goes Asleep on your feet in front of a crowd wearing strange clothes In the name of rock and roll In the name of rock and roll Play another song just like the one before Lay it on strong if you're gonna lay it on at all And I'll lean back and I'll cruise it slow Dreamin' of a time I could let it go Playin' in a band you don't understand where the time goes In the name of rock and roll In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll (Don't take my Fender guitar) In the name of rock and roll
