Well I was born the year that disco died, and
U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we?ll
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won?t you
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it
Long live rock, Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
rock and roll
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I
played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. A
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G?N?R. We still
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but
me and you and all our friends keep livin' on that prayer
Sing it
Long live rock, Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
rock and roll
Instrumental: (Whoa, oh oh)
Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee. No
matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history
We still
argue about who's better, The Beatles or The Stones. They?re
forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
stand here in their memory, 'Cause their songs, they still survive. So
throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight
Come on!
Long live rock, Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
rock and roll
Long live rock, Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Long live
rock and roll
