Lyrics
ROCK AND ROLL 24/7
VERSE 1
When I pledge myself then I mean to do what I say!
And if the band doesn?t show it?s not okay, but I?ll be there anyway.
Oh, I don?t understand why it?s this way, it?s this way, this way.
CHORUS
Rock and roll all the time
Everything on my mind
Spend a dollar make a dime
Gotta chill before I die.
VERSE 2
If I write the songs, and I pay the bills and feel the pain
Then I think maybe I should be out front like it or not
So I don?t understand why it?s this way, why it?s this way, this way.
CHORUS
VERSE 3
If I give my all and I play and sing like the best
But in the music biz people could care less.
Oh, I don?t understand why it?s this way, it?s this way, this way
CHORUS
CHORUS #2
Rock and roll all the time
Everything on my mind
I can?t sleep, I can?t sleep
Gotta chill before I die, die, die.
Gotta chill before I die, gotta chill before I die
Gotta chill before I die.
