When it all began you said you couldn't understand what they were screaming 

Can't call it singing! 

But with a second chance, you said, you swore it wouldn't last but just a fad 

But when you felt us rock... from halfway down the block 

Always feared but never thought 

Rock n roll could last so long... these days! 

So turn the volume up on your TV 

So you can hide the pounding beat 

Coming from outside your house 

Minimize the sound intake and just admit you can't relate 

to what's happening now!

Reformed hippies on MTV 

Soothe your mind so you can sleep 

When all along you always knew 

The explosion of rock n roll grew... so strong! 

Open your mind and you'll hear what it sounds like to really be free

Bands that are touring you will actually see 

a whole lot of fresh air to put your mind at ease 

Maybe someday we'll be old 

Hope these open thoughts I hold 

all your youth already sold! 

It's your rock n roll nightmare pretending 

it's not there 

Rock N Roll Nightmare

Rock N Roll Nightmare

We're your Rock N Roll Nightmare!

'Cause we're your Rock N Roll Nightmare
