Something To Say

Spent our younger years a-workin' with a record player
Playin' and singin' just like our favorite heroes
And as time went by, our playin' slowly got better
And soon it was time to be real, get out and start playin'

And we try so hard to play, yeah
The things we wanted to say, yeah
We try so hard to play, yeah

In a-hopeful bands we'd play and always got nowhere
But our love and determination grew deeper and stronger
And we sold ourselves into hock to buy our dream-maker's honey
Just to keep on rockin' is the most important factor

And we try so hard to play, yeah
The things we wanted to say, yeah
We try so hard to play, yeah
Just to keep you rockin', honey

Oh, it ain't easy, no
It ain't easy, tell me, tell me
Keep on rockin'

Proud and punky, dirty and funky
Good time kids of dirty rock and roll
We're proud and punky, we're dirty and funky
The good time kids of dirty rock and roll, oh yes

And we've been laughed at and lied to and ripped off by so many people
For careless, sun-baked gigs and endless auditions
And sometimes I wonder, do we have the strength to take it?
Just to keep on rockin' is the most important factor

We try so hard to play, yeah
The things we wanted to say, yeah
We try so hard to play, yeah

You know the good things in life, they never, never do come easy
So if you want it bad enough, you gotta get out there and take it
And we ain't tryin' to be something that we know we could never be
We're just the good time kids of dirty rock and roll

And we try so hard to play, yeah
The things we wanted to say, yeah
We try so hard to play, yeah
Just to keep you rockin', children

It ain't easy, Lord knows
Lord knows it ain't easy, oh no

We try so hard to play, yeah
