I've been working all day at the shop Can't we just rock? I've been standing and staring at the clock Can't we just rock? And I'm wondering when the day's going to stop Can't we just rock? I'm just trying to make some money So I can have a ball Some money for my guitar, honey Six strings and all 'cause if I can't play guitar, I don't wanna live at all And it really is a shame When your money is to blame Why every day's the same but you can't stop Can't we just rock? Well, there's nothing on the radio But you already know I say let's go down to the rock n roll show Well, you already know Where the music is real It Just goes to show, you know Well, everybody's worried, everybody's in a hurry Trying to be the next best thing I don't really know 'bout the status quo I just wanna dance and sing So stop Can't we just rock? And it really is a shame When the music sounds the same And everyone's to blame but we don't stop Can't we just rock?

Woke up this morning, couldn't get out of bed One of those days where you just wish you were dead Now, let me tell you 'bout my problem, you see My baby took my rock and roll from me My baby said that I'm just wasting my time But she can't see that I've been losing my mind I said "hey baby, what's your problem anyway?" She shook her head and this is what she said "Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead No money to be made, keep your day job instead Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead" I told my doctor everything that she said He wrote it down and kept on shaking his head He said "I'm sorry, son, I have to agree But rock and roll's been dead since '73" "Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead Now take these pills and get it outta your head Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead" Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead I can't believe it, what the newspaper said Rock and roll, rock and roll is dead

Fire in the hole in St. Louis Police kill a boy for the color of his skin Out for blood, the city's out for blood sayin' "c'mon, c'mon, c'mon let's burn this fucker down" Fire in the hole in our backyard Sitting, watching like it's a TV show What will we do when they put us in line? It's a matter of time before they tear us apart Fire in the hole in New York City Police state, baby And we fell for it Now we know the "enemy"'s at home So open your eyes, they'll never take us alive

Stimulation 03:40
Guy's in the van yelling at the radio station 'Cause he hasn't heard a song that hasn't been played in years His taste of words gives a pretty clear indication That nothing on the radio gives him stimulation John's on a plane headed off to California He had to get away because he didn't want to break his break On the hunt again for the next sensation Nothing in his home town gives him stimulation I want, I want stimulation 'Cause you can never get enough of what you can never get I need, I need stimulation While everybody else is a breathing simulation Living in a television station Sheena goes to work seven days a week Workin 7 to 11 and she comes home unfulfilled She wants to see the band on a saturday night 'cause that rock n roll music makes her feel alright But working all the time don't give her no stimulation And there you are with your head in a simulation With your need to be entertained ad nauseam On the hunt again for the next sensation While I'm in the basement dreaming 'bout stimulation I want, I want stimulation 'Cause you can never get enough of what you can never get I need, I need stimulation While everybody else is a breathing simulation Living in a television station I want, I want stimulation I need, I need stimulation Because I want what I can't get While all you people watch your TV set

I know you don't give a shit about me And it's just too plain to see You're only looking just to have some fun And I know I'll never be the one But, I just can't get a grip on myself And everyday you're putting me through hell I don't know what I'm supposed to do When all I say has no meaning to you I'm making that change tonight I can't take it anymore 'Cause when ya touch me, baby, I get the shakes It makes me sick to my stomach, you see Just what exactly you've been doing to me Never mind all the excuses you make C'mon, touch me, baby, I got the shakes I didn't expect for things to be this way Wanting to touch you every night and day I try to sleep but I keep calling your name I can't take it, I'm going insane I know, know what you're thinking You know, know my intentions All this time you just let me waste it Throw me a sign but ya won't let me taste it I'm making that change tonight I can't take it anymore 'Cause when ya touch me, baby, I get the shakes It makes me sick to my stomach, you see Just what exactly you've been doing to me Never mind all the excuses you make C'mon, touch me, baby, I got the shakes
