The Hold Steady - Rock Problems lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Rock Problems lyrics]
The girls want to go to the party
But no one's in any shape to drive
So we called up your guy
And when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride
We get to the place
And she don't want to dance
She says she's not really into this track
She wants to know what's going on
In the room that's all the way in the back
Back home we were listening to Catholic Boy
And I got hung up on the people who died
I didn't even want to go out
'cause I was way too fried
She said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problems
That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen
I said I'll do anything but clean
She wants to know what I liked being better
A trash bin or ice machine?
Some writer's by the fridge
Said he didn't make the gig
He wants to know if I was drunk
He said the kids that he knows from the 'net
Said the sound kind of sucked
I didn't want to stay in because
The walls are so grey
You can almost feel the tentacles tighten
I didn't even want to go out
'cause I was way too frightened
She said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problems
Didn't want to go out but
It felt really right
When someone put on "Heaven Tonight"
Had a moment in the middle of "In
Color" and In Black and White
Sing along to the Southern Girls
Rip me out of my little world
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
This is just what we wanted
(We got some rock and roll problems)
But no one's in any shape to drive
So we called up your guy
And when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride
We get to the place
And she don't want to dance
She says she's not really into this track
She wants to know what's going on
In the room that's all the way in the back
Back home we were listening to Catholic Boy
And I got hung up on the people who died
I didn't even want to go out
'cause I was way too fried
She said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problems
That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen
I said I'll do anything but clean
She wants to know what I liked being better
A trash bin or ice machine?
Some writer's by the fridge
Said he didn't make the gig
He wants to know if I was drunk
He said the kids that he knows from the 'net
Said the sound kind of sucked
I didn't want to stay in because
The walls are so grey
You can almost feel the tentacles tighten
I didn't even want to go out
'cause I was way too frightened
She said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problems
Didn't want to go out but
It felt really right
When someone put on "Heaven Tonight"
Had a moment in the middle of "In

Sing along to the Southern Girls
Rip me out of my little world
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
This is just what we wanted
(We got some rock and roll problems)
