[Intro]
N.C.
It ain't a needle in a vein
it ain't backstage sex
it ain't lines of cocaine on a private jet
It ain't havin' a posse full of hangers on following you around
It ain't long hair, tattoos, playin too loud (No)
It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishment tryin' to hell
It's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell
It ain't about the money you make, when a record gets sold
It's about doin' it for nothin', cause it lives in your soul
CThat's damn rock and roDllAm  
CThat's damn rock and rDollAm  G  D  C  
[Verse 1]
It's a rock Amthrough a window, it's a riot in the stGreet
It's a rebel Drevolution, it's fightin' for Cpeace
BAmurn baby burn, it's a brick in the Gwall
It's the firDst one to stand, and the last one to fallC  
It's a hip Amshaking devil on a stage in TupelGo
It'Ds doin' what ya want instead of doin' what you're tCold
It's a preacher Amburnin' records, tellin' folks theGy oughta pray
'Cause the shepherd bDought a Gibson, and lead the flock astrayC  
[Chorus]
CThat's damn rock and rolDl, give all yAma got till there ain't nothin' left
CThat's damn rock and rollD  Am  
[Bridge]
N.C.
The Clash crashed the party, and the party got loud, and the party turned into 
an angry crowd. Drowning demons feel no pain, found Nirvana ways to shame
AmGone too soon just like a song, Hendrix, Joplin, whGat went wrong?
DNeed some answers right or wrong, need some band to blame it onC  
[Chorus]
CThat's damn rock and rolDl, give all yAma got till there ain't nothin' left
CThats damn rock and rolDlAm  
[Verse 2]
AmAnother day, in anGother town
DLoadin' the stage, and the lights, and the soCund
AmHere they come boys, theyG've opened doors
DCount us off now Craig (1, 2, C3, 4,)
[Chorus]
CThat's damn rock and rolDl, give all yAma got till there ain't nothin' left
CThat's damn rock and rollD, gather 'rounAmd till you've broken a sweat
[Outro]
CThat's damn rockD  
CThat's damn rock and rollD  Am  G  D  C

It's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell

It ain't about the money you make, when a record gets sold

It's about doin' it for nothin', cause it lives in your soul
