That's Damn Rock & Roll Lyrics

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, naw
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e111480-eric_church~thats_damn_rock_and_roll_lyrics.html ]
It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt the establishment's trying to sell
It's a guy with the balls, tellin' 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 nothing 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 riot in the street
It's a rebel revolution that's fightin' for peace
It's burn-baby-burn, it's a brick in the wall
It's first one to stand and the last one to fall
It's a hip shakin' devil on a stage in Tupelo
It's doin' what you want, 'stead of doin' what you're told
It's a preacher burnin' records, tellin' folks they ought to pray
'Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson and lead the flock astray

That's damn rock and roll
Give all you've got till there ain't nothing left
That's damn rock and roll

Yeah, when 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
Hendricks, 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

That's damn rock and roll
Give all you've got till there ain't nothing left
That's damn rock and roll
Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo

Another day in another town
Load in 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 you've got till there ain't nothing left
That's damn rock and roll
Every ounce of your blood and your sweat
That's damn rock
That's damn rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
