Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go

Do you remember Hullabaloo,
Upbeat, Shinding and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh

Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

. . .


When I look into your big brown eyes and i feel
Like I'm in paradise. I wan't you by my side.
'Cause I'm affected, 'fected
Yeah, I'm affected, 'fected. Well I'm affected.
And all I want is you.

Didn't know it a few years ago, but now finally
Know. I want you by my side.
I want you baby, baby, baby, baby.

Yeah, I love you and I want you to know.
Yeah, yeah, and that's for sure I want you
By my side. 'Cause I'm affected, 'fected
Yeah, I'm affected, Well I'm affected.
And all I want is you.

Danny says we gotta go. Gotta go to Idaho
But we can't go surfin' 'cause it's 20 below.

Sound check's at 5:02. Record stores and interviews.
Oh, but I can't wait to be with you tomorrow.

Baby

Oho-ho-ho, we got nowhere to go and it may sound
Funny, but's true. Hangin' out in 100 B watching
Get Smart on TV. Thinkin' about.
You and me and you and me.

Hangin' out in L.A. And there's nowhere to go.
It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow.
Listening to Sheena on the radio.
Oh-ho oh-ho.

. . .


Somebody called me on the phone
Say, "Hey, hey, is Arty home?
You wanna take a walk?
You wanna go cop?
You wanna go get some Chinese rock?"

I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop

The plaster's falling off the wall
My girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I should've been rich
But I'm just digging a Chinese ditch

I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop

Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah

The plaster's falling off the wall
My girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I should've been rich
But I'm just digging a Chinese ditch

I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop

I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock

Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk
Oh-yeah

Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh I don't know why
We won't forget her, oh no

Jackie's playing hooky
Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school
Oh-yeah

Jackie's scalping tickets
Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why,
Dont't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know

But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you

. . .


Don't wanna study on the G.I. bill.
Want more action, haven't had my fill Mercenary,
fight for anyone, fight for money, fight for fun.

Let's go.

Got a country you wanna protect.
But your army is more likely to defect.
Hire my SMG with a full clip.
On automatic it's a guaranteed hit.

Let's go.

Gee it's kinda scary out here.
Mosquitos are happy tonight.
Mommy, Daddy, can I please come home.
Even if just for on night.

Let's go.

Shocked how deadly we fight back.
Troublemakers who attack mercenary.
Fight for anyone, fight for money, fight for fun.

Let's go.

. . .


Have I ever told you How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain

And though I'm really trying I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day When you kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta Kiss me I just gotta say

Baby I love you C'mon baby
Baby I love you Ooh-wee-ooh baby
Baby I love I love only you

I can't live without you I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way

Oh, I'm so glad I found you I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name Oh, tell me that ya feel
Tell me that ya feel Tell me that ya feel the same

Baby I love you C'mon baby
Baby I love you Ooh-wee-ooh baby
Baby I love I love only you

Oh, I'm so glad I found you I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name Oh, tell me that ya feel
Tell me that ya feel Tell me that ya feel the same

. . .


I can't make it on time.
I can't make it on time.
I keep tryin' and tryin'
I can't make it on time.

I can't hurry and you can't wait. It doesn't
matter 'cause we're already late.
I can't get off the telephone.
It always rings when I'm alone.

You gotta wait wait 'cause you don't
Need no one. Wait wait, 'cause you
Know that I'm the one.
You gotta wait. Hey, hey' hey. Wait.

. . .


I had no advantage over you.
There was troubles and I had 'em too.
Just 'cause you're so stung out.
Don't mean it can't work out.

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't havana.
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas.

Say you're a victim of society.
You ask them for your mercy.
Just like the cats in the garbage cans.
When's their time coming, man.

You better offer some resistance.
You better give up on my insistence.
Things happen overnight.
You don't give up without a fight.

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't havana.
Do yo like bananas, ba-ba-bananas.

You say you're poor and uneducated.
You ain't gotta chance 'cause you're hated.
You're on your way to life's promotion.
You hinder it with emotion.

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't havana.
Do yo like bananas, ba-ba-bananas.

Well the girls out there knock me out, you know
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Cruisin' around in my GTO

Don't wanna be taught to be no fool
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school

Feedback blasting out my ears. Makes me
So high. I love all the monitor men.
But why are they alive. The van is making
Me crazy. It's just like being in the navy.

Doomsday, doomsda's coming- 1981.
But until things blow. I'm gonna have
Some fun. The bubble's going to explode.
Probably never live to get old.

But I just wanna have some fun. Probably
Won't see no money. I just wanna have some fun.
Before they throw me in the sanitarium.

. . .


High risk insurance. The time is right.
High risk insurance. The time is right.

Got endurance, I was trained. I got my sights
Adjusted and my telescope aimed.

Everybody wants an explanation.
Got no love for the enemy nation.

You gotta fight to stay independent.
I got my pride and I'm gonna defend it.
