They Played Rock and Roll

When the bomber flew It was '79 Make no mistake It was their time Living fast and free The only way to be The world was on the street They were the boys to beat And they played rock and roll They played rock and roll They took no sleep The tour rolled on To hammersmith Their battle song Everything over the top Giving it all till you drop Adrenaline, leather and sweat No one would ever forget They played rock and roll They played rock and roll Dealing the ace Releasing the power The 80's were here This was the hour Decibels crushing your brain The closer you get to the pain Night after night on the road Falling asleep with the sun Bass like thunder Drums of steel Guitars of fury With lightning fear Living fast and free The only way to be The world was on the street They were the boys to beat And they played rock and roll They played rock and roll They played rock and roll They played rock and roll
