Long Live Rock & Roll

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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've rocked all day And partied every night And we still argue 'bout who's better Elton John or Billy Joel We still wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole No, we'll never stop believing It's the Journey of our lives So won't you help me Pour Some Sugar On these memories tonight? Singin' [Chorus] Long live rock Long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Sayin' Don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live Rock and Roll [Verse 2] Summer of '96, I got my first guitar I played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star" Grunge was everything, at least it was to me A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint Just running down a dream We still argue 'bout who's better Mötley Crüe or GNR And we still can't believe Van Halen 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 [Chorus] Long live rock Long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Sayin' Don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live Rock and Roll [Verse 3] Went to bed in Cleveland Woke up in Tenessee No matter where I roam tonight I'm chasing history We still argue 'bout who's better The Beatles or The Stones They're forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones And we stand here in their memory 'Cause the songs, they still survive So throw your lighters up And darling, sing with me tonight Come on [Chorus] Long live rock Long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Sayin' 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 Sayin' Don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live Rock and Roll [Outro] Long live Rock and Roll
