lyrics
I reckon life’s a bitch, we struggle then we die.
So, hold on tight to bits of joy that fill your life.
When old man Blues creeps up and looks to grip my soul.
I shake the bastard with some heavy rock n’ roll.
May sound familiar but all the same,
It calls to the marrow and it takes away the pain.
Lodged in my cortex, deep in my spine,
It’s the most vital of all my vital signs.
I’ll stand tall, I’ve Got my Rock n’ Roll
Will not fall, I’ve Got my Rock n’ Roll
Won’t bring me low, I’ve Got my Rock n’ Roll
Ah fuck it all, I’ve Got my Rock n’ Roll
Work hard for fifty years to keep myself afloat.
A cog within the gears that drive the status quo.
But that can’t quench the fire that smoulders in my bones.
That’s me, that’s mine, that’s who I am, I’ve got my rock n’ roll.
The four-four thunder, quickens the pulse,
Pushes the heart rate up, it gets the right results.
Three chord lightning, jagged and unhinged.
Random, casual danger, like a flamethrower in the wind.
It’s not incidental but when I’m going mental,
It keeps me anchored, keeps me sane.
A sure and trusted defense from tumbling off the deep end,
It’s saved me over and again.
