I Want Rock & Roll Lyrics - Frank Black And The Catholics

I want to go back to fifty-five 

ten before I was burned alive 

there ain't no use in a stupid dream 

my head is tired from this enthymeme 

I want to hear the holy ramage 

I don't mind a little ear damage 

Henry Sloane in my soca soul 

I'm not ashamed to say I want rock and roll 

I'd like to hear some Cubby Checker 

crush my heart with Desmond Dekker 

little itty bitty of Freddy Fender 

start me up return to sender 

I want rock and roll 

I want rock and roll 

I want rock and roll 

I want rock and roll 

I want rock and roll 

I want rock and roll 

I want to go back to fify-five 

ten before I was burned alive 

the world can be so very cold 

nothing to say except I want rock and roll 

if you're going to San Francisco 

just remember it all is disco
