Verse 1:
The kids were shouting let us out
And their parents did then two years then three years
--- (x2)
Then show time and now they're making rock and roll
Those kids are making progress now
They say hear us out in every town
--- (x2)
They do it one mile by one mile at a time
Refrain 1:
Though it seems like every time
I get a little bit closer to what I want
I land further away
From where and when I was a little bit younger
(hold)
Well if you don't know how the cadence goes we say...
Chorus:
This parade still marches on
Louder than it ever was
Right Left Right come on
Come on get up and just follow the tempo
where streets filled with people sing
On and on and on through the town
The beat goes on
Verse 2:
The kids are yelling play that song
that I heard that onceI don't know what it's called
--- (x2)
or how it goes but it's all the same to me
The girls are screaming let us in
because we're what you want to solve all your problems
--- (x2)
for tonight Because you're just so rock and roll
Refrain 2:
Though it seems like every time
I get a little bit closer to what I want
I land further away
From where and when I was a little bit younger
(hold)
If you still don't know the way we roll we go...
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: C--F
Bridge:
Let's get back to tearing this place a new floor
Left Right Left Come on
Come on get up and just follow the tempo
where streets filled with people
They sing on and on
They sing on and on and on

The beat goes on
