That’s Damn Rock & Roll Songtext

von Eric Church

It ain't a needle in a vein
It ain't backstage sex
It ain't lines of cocaine on a private jet,
It ain't havin' a posse full of hangers on following you around
It ain't long hair, tattoos, playin' too loud,(No)

It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishments tryin' to sell
It's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell
It ain't about the money you make, when a record gets sold
It's about doin' it for nothin', 'cause it lives in your soul

That's damn rock and roll
That's damn rock and roll

It's a rock through a window
It's a ride in the street
It's a rebel revolution
It's fightin' for pieces
Burn baby burn,
It's a brick in the wall
It's the first one to stand
And the last one to fall
It's a hip shaking devil on the stage at two below,
It's doing what ya want instead of doin' what your told,
It's a preacher by the wreck tellin' folks they outta pray
'Cause the shepherd boy gets them
And lead the flock a stray

That's damn rock and roll
Give all ya got ‘till there ain't nothin' left
That's damn rock and roll
Get some grass cause the party
And the party got loud
And the party turned into an angry crowd
Drowning demons feel no pain
Found a lot of ways to shame
Gone too soon just like a song
Hendrix Joplin what went wrong?
Need some answers right or wrong
Need some band 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)

That's damn rock and roll
(Give all ya got till there ain't nothing left)
That's damn rock and roll
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Another day,
In another town
Loadin' the stage, and the lights, and the sound
Here they come boys
They've opened doors
Count us off now Craig
(One, two, three, four)
That's damn rock and roll
Give all ya go till there ain't nothin left
That's damn rock and roll
Gather round 'till you've broken a sweat

That's damn rock
That's damn rock and roll
(Rock and roll)
(Rock and roll)
(Rock and roll)
(Rock and roll)
(Rock and roll)
