Autography

The kids were shouting "Let us out!"
 And their parents did
 Then 2 years, then 3 years
 Then show time and now they're making rock 'n' roll
 Those kids are making progress now
 They say "Hear us out!" in every town
 They do it 1 mile by 1 mile at a time
 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
 If you still don't know how the cadence goes
 We say:
 This parade still marches on
 Louder than it ever was
 Right, left, right, c'mon
 C'mon 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
 The kids are yelling "Play the song
 That I heard that once!
 I don't know what it's called 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 for tonight
 Because you're just so rock 'n' roll."
 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
 If you still don't know the way we roll
 We go:
 This parade still marches on
 Louder than it ever was
 Right, left, right, c'mon
 C'mon get up and just follow the tempo
 Where streets filled with people
 They sing on and on and on through the town
 The beat goes on
 (Whoo)
 Let's get back to tearing this place a new floor
 Left, right, left, c'mon
 C'mon get up and just follow the tempo
 Streets filled with people
 They sing on, on, they sing and on and on and on
 The beat goes on
