The Basement Lyrics - Moving Up Living Down - Eric Hutchinson

Whoa, whoa, whoa 

I'm going down to the basement ya'll 

Where people all have a good time 

The parties that I hear have nothing to do with 

My ears are going out of my mind, mind, mind 

Down here they play the real thing 

Songs that were really rock and roll 

It's a cliche to put it this way 

But they don't make em like that anymore, more, more, more 

So if they put me in the spot light 

I'm never leaving the floor 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Oh 

An old man gets on the mic 

Tells us to hang our burdens up 

He says songs you hear today all start to get in the way 

Till you're barely feeling the love, love, love, love 

He drops the needle on a pop song 

He drops the needle on some soul 

And I watch a pimp fall in love over there 

Dancing to songs their parents would know, know, know, know 

So everybody give me room now 

Watch me cut a rug in the show 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Oh 

Party people sweat out the night 

Let your body do just what it likes 

Just want to hear some favorite before my years 

Dance soldiers forgetting our day jobs 

Trying to get off cause we really came to rock and roll 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

I'm going down to the basement 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Cause I really want to rock and roll 

Say I really want to rock and roll
