Rock & Roll

[Verse] When I was young, yeah I was young one time, we have all been young But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape. And it freaked me out I didn't know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room And another time, different house, different song Different friend, different band, he had real long hair Pulled the record out, put the needle on and freaked me out I’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth But I was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief Who would known, Who would known, Who would known, Who would known That it would be rock and roll That would terrify and eat me That would haunt me so completely Yeah you were there, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, Elysian fields Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, CD in, CD in, CD in, a CD in a car stereo and it freaked me out What he said about love. You were right there, I don’t know where I was How much do I owe my uncle? I suspect it’s more than I can pay He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and we freaked me out Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, but we were the shit
