lyrics

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
