RETRO ROCK   (c) by Stevenn Beck

it's new years eve another year done
time to get dressed up time to have fun
another new years party to which we have to come
but retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday

we all entered oz a new york city loft
everybody there seemed a generation off
attained maturity but lord look at the cost
retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday

they all wear a tux or a black strapless gown
boring conversation as we network around
new age musicians to bring the level down
retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday

there was a time when you'd dance and you'd sing
abandon to the moment the pleasures it would bring
dozens of jeans sweating happily in the wind
you can't give a damn what the world thanks
that's what i believe

the host and his woman were grilling all the guests
"how do you view nixon now?" was all they seemed to ask
fortunes made from tv sports and I was not impressed
but retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday

off in the corner a sudden shift of time
three crazy people twisting in the night
they'd grabbed the musicians and squeezed with all their might
you can't give a damn what the world thinks
if you feel it's right

now the host and his woman demanded we all leave
but others started dancing and following our lead
rock and roll music had sprung their inner beings
retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday

slowly the crowd lost control one last time
me and my partners were leading them in rhyme
suddenly a light switched on to remind them of the time
you can't live your life like your parents
that's what I believe

another party over another party done
impressing one another is not my idea of fun
I'm gonna dance and sing my way to oblivion

retro rock will lead them
retro rock will beat them
retro rock fulfills their yesterday
retro rock...
