Well, I was born the year that Disco died And you too was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived Got my first taste on a Cigar .45 And since that kiss I've rocked all day and partied every night We still argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel And we still wonder if Kurt really wrote the song she's singing, oh No, we'll never stop believing it's the journey of our lives So won't you help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight Singing Long live rock, long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Saying don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live rock and roll Summer of 96, I got my first guitar They played it to my finger, said you're gonna be a star Grunge was everything, at least it was to me A marshal in my Chevy Sprint just running down a dream We still argue about who's better, Motley Crue or G&R And we still can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar Now the record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care But me and you and all our friends keep living on that prayer Singing Long live rock, long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Saying don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live rock and roll Went to bed in Cleveland Woke up in Tennessee No matter where I roam tonight I'm chasing history We still argue about who's better The Beatles or the Stones They're forever 27 Jimmy Janis, Brian Jones And we stand here in their memory cause the songs they still survive So throw your lighters up and darling sing with me tonight Come on! Long live rock, long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Sing, don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live rock and roll Long live rock, long live roll Long live big guitars and music for the soul Sing, don't give up, don't grow old Long live crazy nights and records made of gold Long live rock and roll
