Long Live Rock & Roll

Well I was born

The year that disco died

And U2 was in high school

Thank the Lord that they survived

Got my first taste, on a Seger '45

And since that kiss

I rocked out all day, and partied every night

We still argue about who's better:

Elton John or Billy Joel

We still wonder if Kurt really wrote the song she sang in Hole

No we'll never stop believing

That's the journey of our lives

So won't you help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight?

Sing it!

Long live rock!

Long live roll!

Long live big guitars and music for the soul!

Sing it!

Don't give up, don't grow old!

Long live crazy nights and records made of gold!

Long live rock and roll!

Summer of '96, I got my first guitar

I played it till fingers said, "you're gonna be a star"

Grunge was everything, at least, it was to me

A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint

Just winding down a dream

We still argue about who's better:

Motley Crew or G & R

We still can't believe Van Helen, turned into Van Hagar

Now the record shops are gone' for good

And no one seems to care

But me and you, and all our friends

Keep living on that prayer

Sing it!

Long live rock!

Long live roll!

Long live big guitars and music for the soul!

Sing it!

Don't give up, don't grow old!

Long live crazy nights and records made of gold!

Long live rock and roll!

Went to be in Cleaveland

Woke up in Tenessee

No matter where I'll roll tonight

I'm chasing history

We still argue about who's better:

The Beatles or The Stones

They're forever 27

Jimmy Janice, Brian Jones

And we stand here in their memory

'Cause their songs, they still survive

So throw your lighters up

And darling sing with me tonight

Come on!

Long live rock!

Long live roll!

Long live big guitars and music for the soul!

Sing it!

Don't give up, don't grow old!

Long live crazy nights and records made of gold!

Long live rock and roll!

Long live rock!

Long live roll!

Long live big guitars and music for the soul!

Sing it!

Don't give up, don't grow old!

Long live crazy nights and records made of gold!

Long live rock and roll!
