The kids were shouting "Let us out!" And their parents did Then 2 years, then 3 years Then showtime and now they're making rock n roll Those kids are making progress now They're saying "Hear us out!" in every town They do it 1 mile by 1 mile at a time Though it seems like every time I get a little bit closer To what I want I land further away from where and when I was a little bit younger Well, this year don't know how cadence goes We say: This parade still marches on Louder than it ever was Right, left, right, c'mon C'mon get up and just follow the tempo Where streets filled with people Sing on and on and on through the town The beat goes on The kids are yelling "Play the song That I heard that once! I don't know what it's called or how it goes But it's all the same to me." The girls are screaming "Let us in Because were what you want to solve all your problems for tonight Because you're just so rock 'n' roll." Though it seems like every time I get a little bit closer To what I want I land further away from where and when I was a little bit younger If you still don't know the way we roll We go: This parade still marches on Louder than it ever was Right, left, right, c'mon C'mon get up and just follow the tempo Where streets filled with people They sing on and on and on through the town The beat goes on (Whoo) Let's get back to sharing this place and the floor Left, right, left, c'mon C'mon get up and just follow the tempo Where streets filled with people They sing on, on, they sing and on and on and on The beat goes on
