This Is Rock and Roll

Elvis was an outcast, your grandparents hated him
Because he was different and hung out on a limb
Now he's a hero, and rock and roll's still here
And it's still progressing and changing every year
And this is the newest form it's taken on
Rock and roll has come to this although you say it's wrong

THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL!

THE BEATLES, JIMI HENDRIX, your parents thought they were bad
...the biggest influences rock and roll ever had
They were known as rebels, and we are too
Because we have the strength to act different from you
Punk's not about anarchy or abuse
It's taking what you feel inside and putting it to use

If you don't think this music's gonna grow
Just take a look at where it was eleven years ago
If you still say that it's a trend and you still say it's wrong
Then go back to the 50's, cause that's where you belong!
