I got news my favourite band
Would go on a reunion concert tour
So I went to a ticket agency
It was very high priced
But it's okay, it might be a precious time for me
It's all right, I can't wait to go
I took out their old records
From deep inside my closet
But my old record player
Didn't work very well
So I bought their newly released greatest hits CD
Oh how nice, now I'm ready for the show
Rock, rock
I don't hear rock music anymore
Rock, rock
All I need is .....
Rock, rock
I don't want techno anymore
Rock, rock
All I need is .....
Hello, golden years of rock n' roll
Welcome back to the twenty-first century
Finally the day of the concert came
And I was at the big arena
The band appeared on the stage
They look different than before
What happened to their long hair and slender bodies?
I was disappointed by their looks
But their live performance was
Fantastic, everybody there had fun
Two hours later, the show was over
I hurried over to buy something
Then I got a cool black short-sleeved tee shirt
Anyway, the music made me so happy
Rock, rock
I don't hear rock music anymore
Rock, rock
All I need is .....
Rock, rock
I don't want techno anymore
Rock, rock
All I need is .....
Cheer up! Cheer up!
Rock will never die
Cheer up! Cheer up!
Rock forever
Cheer up! Cheer up!
Rock will never die
Cheer up! Cheer up!
Rock forever
