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
