They Played Rock and Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
