Lyrics

Rockin' the riffs and poundin' the beats
Entering into the digital realm with lyrical inspiration
Layin' it down and beltin' it out
The Audacity of Rock 'n Roll sendin' it across the nation
Getting' in tune? If we're lucky we are
Wonderin' what the hell's takin' so long... I want that track right now
Speedin' it up or slowin' it down
This part here and that part there it all comes together somehow

Years ago we could have never dreamed
How it would all play out
We just turned it up louder
And louder we would shout
But things are so much different now
A click, a paste and a scroll
The times have changed and now we're pumpin' it out
Long Distance Rock 'n Roll

Reel to reel gave us quality, but really was a pain in the ass
So vinyl was the standard that lasted for many a year
Cassettes really came in handy for music on the go
But eight-track tapes with continuous play, maybe not the best idea...
Lord knows you can't stop progress, time keeps marching on
So along comes the compact disc, to digitize your favorite band
Thank Mr. Jobs for your iPod, and technology running wild
Upwards of 100,000 songs, right in the palm of your hand

Throughout the years the more things change, the more they stay the same
The difference in the methods seem whole worlds apart
You know it's all about the music, the way it's always been
And yet it seems the hardest thing is finding where to start
The ideas come, the momentum grows, as a snowball rolls downhill
It builds up unpredictably it seems out of control
You wonder how it's gonna turn out, is the sound what you're hoping for?
You know you're gonna like it, 'cause it's only Rock 'n Roll
