Thatâs Damn Rock & Roll Lyrics It ainât a needle in a vein
It ainât backstage sex
It ainât lines of cocaine on a private jet
It ainât havinâ a posse full of hangers on following you around
It ainât long hair, tattoos, playinâ too loud
No)
It ainât a middle finger on a t-shirt
The establishments tryinâ to sell
Itâs a guy with the balls who told the establishment
To go to hell
It ainât about the money you make, when a record gets sold
Itâs about doinâ it for nothinâ, cause it lives in your soul
Thatâs damn rock and roll
Thatâs damn rock and roll
Itâs a rock through a window
Itâs a riot in the street
Itâs a rebel revolution
Itâs fightinâ for pieces
Burn baby burn
Itâs a brick in the wall
Itâs the first one to stand
And the last one to fall
Itâs a hip shaking devil on the stage in Tupelo
Itâs doing what ya want instead of doinâ what your told
Itâs a preacher burning records, tellinâ folks they oughta pray
Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and led the flock astray
Thatâs damn rock and roll
Give all ya got âtill there ainât nothinâ left
Thatâs damn rock and roll
The Clash crashed the party
And the party got loud
And the party turned into an angry crowd
Drowning demons feel no pain
Found Nirvana wasted shame
Gone too soon just like a song
Hendrix, Joplin. What went wrong?
Need some answers right or wrong
Need something to blame it on
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)
(Blame it on)

Another day in another town
Loadinâ the stage, and the lights, and the sound
Here they come boys
Theyâve opened doors
Count us off now Craig

Thatâs damn rock and roll
Give all ya got till there ainât nothin left
Thatâs damn rock and roll
Gather round âtill youâve broken a sweat
Thatâs damn rock
Thatâs damn rock and roll
