lyrics

It's been around for fifty years
It's still something parents fear
So much emotion in three chords
Turn it up and dance some more

Ain't nobody gonna buy this track
Ain't nobody listens to your crap
Ain't no response when I call
Rock and Raw

I just love when the story's told
Of Memphis and of Liverpool
How Keith Richards learned his riffs
Nicking Berry's golden licks

But who would sign a bloody contract
With corporate raiders riding your back
The weak will rise and the strong will fall
Rock and Raw

I hear they're downloading in London
Sharing files in New York
Home recording in L.A.
Even ripping music in China

Who said the music had to be tight
It's just got to make us dance all night
Peggy Sue is having a ball
Rock and Raw

Ain't nobody gonna watch your back
A million songs sound just like that
Don't ever let the connection stall
Rock and Raw

Ain't nobody gonna buy this track
Ain't nobody listens to your crap
Ain't no response when I call
Rock and Raw

But who would sign a bloody contract
With corporate raiders riding your back
The weak will rise and the strong will fall
Rock and Raw

Who said the music had to be tight
It's just got to make us dance all night
Peggy Sue is having a ball
Rock and Raw

Ain't nobody gonna watch your back
A million songs sound just like that
Don't ever let the connection stall
Rock and Raw
