Story Behind The Song
As a rock & roller, I split from my first wife as soon as the groupies got in the way but left two children with her. when re-uninting with my children years later when they were in thier early teens watching MTV all day as I discovered, I felt that they were starting the same cycle again! My beloved daughter idolized the new rockers on MTV ... so I wrote this one

Lyrics
1. Dreams of rock and rollers, dance inside her head.
She sould be doin? home work, but she?s watchin? MTV instead
They are all so pretty, they are all so rich.
they got all the girls they want, they don?t even know that she exists
And on and on and on, the videos play oooh
On and on and on they go, twenty four hours a day
2.That boy from school keeps callin?, she don?t wanna know, oh no
Skinny kid ridin? on a ten speed,
ain?t gonna take her where she wants to go, oh no
layin? out by the pool in her two piece, and her headphones on,
Dreamin? of a limosine, gonna pick her up,
take her out all around the world, andt
On and on and on, the videos play, oooh
On and on and on they go, twenty four hours a day.
Bridge. . All the family?s sleepin?, got the TV turned way down,
But the images still flicker, and the beat of her heart still pounds.
Solo ~ ~
3.They said when you get older, you can do as you please.
As long as your livin? under our roof, you got responsibilities!
Watch out now she?s packin?, sneekin?, out the window,
See she met this guy, he?s got a band, gonna take her on the road
and teach her what she want?s to know and
On and on and on, the videos play, ooh
On and on and on they go, twenty four hours a day!
Twenty four hours a day!
On and on and on, the videos play oooh
On and on and on they go, twenty four hours a day
