Gordon Lightfoot sang a song
about a boat that sank in the lake
At the break of the morning
A Cat named Stevens found a faith
He could believe in and Joan Baez
I never listened too much jazz
But hippie songs could be heard in our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang about how much
He loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar
Were there day John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said
He had a hungry heart Grover Washington
Was happy on the day
He topped the charts
These are the songs
Quiet Riot got me started
With the bangin' on my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer
Taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though
Sometimes I would listen to the radio
Debbie Gibson tell me that you think
We're all alone
Michael Jackson's in the mirror
I've gotta have faith if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up
Wish me love or wishing well
It takes two to make a thing go right
If the Fresh Prince starts a fight
Don't you worry for too long
'Cause you know
These are the songs
Back in 1991
I wasn't havin' any fun
'Till my roommate said "Come on
And put a brand new record on"
Had a baby on it
He was naked on it
Then I heard the chords that broke
The chains I had upon me
Got together with my bros
In some rehearsal studios
Then we played our first rock show
And watched the fan base start to grow
Signed the deal that gave the dough
To make a record of our own
The song come on the radio
Now people go this is the song
These are the songs I keep singing
