Songtexte That's Damn Rock & Roll (Live At Sprint Center, Kansas City, MO / January 31, 2017) - Eric Church , Joanna Cotten

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 riot 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 in Tupelo
It's doing what ya want instead of doin' what your told
It's a preacher burning records, tellin' folks they oughta pray
Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and led the flock astray

That's damn rock and roll
Give all ya got 'till there ain't nothin' left
That's damn rock and roll

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
Hendrix, 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 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)

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
(1, 2, 3, 4)

That's damn rock and roll
Give all ya got 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)
