Album: B Room
[Verse 1]
When I was Ayoung, yeah I was young one time, we’ve all been young.
But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape. 
And it frEeaked me out.
EI didn’t know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room.
[Verse 2]
AAnd another time, different friend, different house,
different song, different band, he had real long hair,
pulled the record out, put the needle on oh yeah and Efreaked me out.
EI’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth.
EI was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief.
[Chorus]
Who'da Aknown, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
That it wDould be rock and Aroll
That would tEerrify me
EThat would haunt me so completely
[Verse 3]
Yeah you were Athere, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, elysian fields,
Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, cd in, cd in, cd in, a cd in a car stereo
and it fEreaked me out, what he said about love. You were right there
EI don’t know where I was.
[Verse 4]
AHow much do I owe my uncle? I expect it’s more than I can pay.
AHe gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and it fEreaked me out.
EYeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, thought we were the shit
[Chorus]
Who'da Aknown, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
That it wDould be rock and Aroll
That would tEerrify me
EThat would haunt me so completely

[Verse 1]

When I was young, yeah I was young one time, we’ve all been young.

But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape.

And it freaked me out.

I didn’t know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room.

[Verse 2]

And another time, different friend, different house,

different song, different band, he had real long hair,

pulled the record out, put the needle on oh yeah and freaked me out.

I’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth.

I was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief.

[Chorus]

Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known

D A

That it would be rock and roll

That would terrify me

That would haunt me so completely

[Verse 3]

Yeah you were there, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, elysian fields,

Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, cd in, cd in, cd in, a cd in a car stereo

and it freaked me out, what he said about love. You were right there

I don’t know where I was.

[Verse 4]

How much do I owe my uncle? I expect it’s more than I can pay.

A E

He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and it freaked me out.

Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, thought we were the shit

[Chorus]

Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known

D A

That it would be rock and roll

That would terrify me

That would haunt me so completely
