PLAY ME A ROCK AND ROLL SONG

I came into town as a man of renown
A writer of songs about freedom and joy
The hall had been rented and I was presented
As the kind of a singer most folks could enjoy
As I climbed up the stair to the stage that was there
It was obvious something was missing
I could tell by the vibes they wouldn’t be bribed
They weren’t in the mood to listen
They yelled out
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Don’t give me songs about freedom and joy
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don’t play me no song at all
I played them some songs about peace and contentment
And things I have come to believe in
When I was through to a chorus of boo
Some track star yelled thank God he’s leaving
Now someone play me a rock 'n' roll song
I’ve had it to here with your flowers and beads
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don’t play me no song at all
Well if I played you a rock 'n' roll song
It wouldn’t be fair ‘cause my head isn’t there
So I’ll leave you with your rock 'n' roll songs
And make my way back to the country
Still I can hear play me a rock 'n' roll song
Don’t give me music that I don’t want to hear
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
I should have stayed home with a small case of beer
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don’t play me no song at all
