Long Live Rock & Roll

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 Seger 45

And since that Kiss, I've rocked all day, and partied every night

And we still argue 'bout 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?

Singin'

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 & 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 'bout who's better Mötley Crüe or GN'R

And 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

Singin'

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 & Roll

Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee

No matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history

We still argue 'bout who's better, The Beatles or The Stones

They're forever 27, Jimi, Janis, Brian Jones

And we stand here in their memory, 'cause the 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 & 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 Rock & Roll
