Can't Blame Rock & Roll

When I was young I had a dream
that I could be the king
a Jaguar super star
do most anything
Don't make me cry I'd like to try
I want to rule the world
but I was fifteen years of age and hadn't had a girl

They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
'cause we're playing along with your game
it's still the same

A weekend comes for having fun
and playing in the park
can't stay at home where no one knows
and do it in the dark
Hope nothing's wrong don't take to long
to steal your daddy's car
all driving fast and freaking out
to Jimmie's lead guitar

They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
'cause we're playing along with your game
it's still the same

Youth of today got nothing to say
worth listening to at all
they're only interested in drinking a lot
following the call
We'll ban the shows and heaven knows
it all might go away
to make a stand to stop the band
but rock is here to stay

They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
They can't blame rock & roll
'cause we're playing along with your game
they can't kill rock

(N. deJong) (3:17)
