When it all began you said you couldn't understand what they were screaming Can't call it singing! But with a second chance, you said, you swore it wouldn't last but just a fad But when you felt us rock... from halfway down the block Always feared but never thought Rock n roll could last so long... these days! So turn the volume up on your TV So you can hide the pounding beat Coming from outside your house Minimize the sound intake and just admit you can't relate to what's happening now! Reformed hippies on MTV Soothe your mind so you can sleep When all along you always knew The explosion of rock n roll grew... so strong! Open your mind and you'll hear what it sounds like to really be free Bands that are touring you will actually see a whole lot of fresh air to put your mind at ease Maybe someday we'll be old Hope these open thoughts I hold all your youth already sold! It's your rock n roll nightmare pretending it's not there Rock N Roll Nightmare Rock N Roll Nightmare We're your Rock N Roll Nightmare! 'Cause we're your Rock N Roll Nightmare
