All Hail Rock & Roll

by Nitwit

/

about

I wrote this song from the bittersweet perspective of a man in his 60's, who still wears a long black wig, eyeliner and leather pants while walking the sunset strip, looking back on his glory days in the 1980's hair-metal scene.

All proceeds will go to Everytown for gun safety.

lyrics

all hail rock & roll
cause you saved our souls
so many times before
and you blew the cold
wind back in our sails
all hail rock &roll

oh god how we got old
we're the pretty folks
on the dancing floor
and what made us whole
somehow turned us frail
all hail rock & roll

false starts when we were certain
false gods we used to worship
broke hearts that won't hurting
old cars we can't get working
junkies became out heroes
heroes turned into junkies
some learned to look in the mirror
others were not so lucky
eyes lined as black as night now
no sleep until it's light out
one day these kids will find out
just how our kind died out

all hail rock &roll
cause it saved our souls
so many times before
and you blew the cold
wind back in our sails
all hail rock & roll
rock & roll
