The radio Is getting old Every song just sounds the same And they call it rock and roll Fix them up It's black and white You can teach them how to play But they still don't know how to write You can call it what you want but It's not rock and roll The stage is set The lights go down They play their hits the best they can But next year they won't be around You can call it what you want but It's not rock and roll You can call it what you want but It's just not rock and roll Listen up It's been too long I'm stringing up my banjo now And you're gonna hear a rock song It's just rock and roll

Stand by the roller coaster I’ll hold your hand all the way I’d walk to California I’d swim the ocean for you Hang up your favorite poster Let down your hair for the day I’d climb a mountain for you Jump from a plane to touch you Can’t hear you through the static Come meet me in my attic (Hey hey hey) Nichole, Nichole You are tearing up my soul Cause you make me feel I’m invisible No smile no crack of laughter They say she’s driving me wild I’ll meet you at the bar We’ll ride around in my car Wake up the morning after She’d spend the day by my side She’d be my summer sister I’d like to say I kissed her (hey) Nichole, Nichole Like a blister on my soul Still you make me feel like I’m invisible (Hey hey hey) Nichole, Nichole You are tearing up my soul Cause you make me feel I’m invisible (hey hey hey) Nichole, Nichole I’ll still love you when I’m old Sunshine’s warm but you’re so cold and unconvincible (Hey hey hey) Nichole, Nichole You are tearing up my soul Cause you’re so controlled and unconvincible I’m invisible But I feel invincible

I can’t be And I can’t see I can’t be with you I can’t be without you I know And I can’t be Someone please Tell me where I should go Someone please Tell me what I should do Don’t go away You can’t stay Cause we were only a yesterday I can’t be with you I can’t be without you I know And you can’t stay Somebody please Tell me what I should do Somebody please Tell me whereI should go Don’t go away

Grow Up 05:14
Your hair’s too long And your shoes have holes Be quiet now Just do what you’re told The hero falls He arrived too late He should have run When they opened the gate --- And we’re getting older now But it’s still the same old crowd And it’s time to grow up now --- Now pay your bills And cash your checks Get up the hill You’re not beaten yet You’ve had some fun Your rebellion’s done You get back now cause the real thing’s begun --- No more time for us to play Can’t abide in yesterday And it’s time to grow up now The pretty people beneath my feet Much to bitter to be sweet And it’s time to grow up now

Last Call 04:43
Quarter to 4 She heads for the door But I stay so I can get in just one more I move to the door Hello to the floor Cause she’s long gone and I’m left alone just like before --- And it’s the last call for alcohol The last chance for one more dance The last call for alcohol The last time I could make her mine F C/E Cm D --- Quarter to 5 And I’m still alive But by now my heart won’t come off my sleeve Alone in the street So I stare at my feet And the cigarette street light is soft and sweet --- And it’s the last call for alcohol The last chance for one more dance The last call for alcohol The last time I could make her mine (bridge) em7 A And it’s the last call for alcohol The last drink and I can’t think The last call for alcohol The last time I could make her mine
