"Rock and roll is the answer" lyrics

So, I wasn't quite clear on what the lyrics to Joey Ramone's "Rock and roll is the answer" were. I could figure out most of them but decided to look them up. The album isn't even out yet, just that single so the lyrics are newly posted and have a lot of incorrect lines in them. So I decided to fix the lyrics and re-post them, hopefully these get found instead of the badly transcribed ones. Finally "...Ya Know?" came out on the 22nd and I found out what the lyrics were...officially!

Seven o’clock and I’m feelin' rotten
Gonna pull myself together here
Cause twelve o’clock you know I wanna rock
I wanna get a belly full of beer.
Fighting nightly baby it's a bore, everything is going wrong
Saturday night it's gonna be alright
We'll go bar hoppin' til the break of dawn, yeah!
Baby, baby
We gonna have a ball
Ooh, come on baby
We gonna have it...
We gonna have it all!

Chorus:
Rock’n roll is the answer
Rock’n roll is the answer
Oh, oh, oh
Rock’n roll is the answer
Rock’n roll is the answer
Oh yeah!

I got soused now in the doghouse to make everythin' turn out alright
My my baby, she’s mad at me but I aint going to let it ruin my time
The neighbors are complaining, I’m going insane
There goes the doorbell, the telephone
But it's Saturday night it's gonna be alright
We'll go bar hopin til the break of dawn
Yeah! Baby, baby
We gonna have a ball
Ooh, come on baby
We gonna have it...
We gonna have it all!
We gonna have it, we gonna have it all!

Chorus:
Rock’n roll is the answer
Rock’n roll is the answer
Oh, oh, oh
Rock’n roll is the answer
Rock’n roll is the answer
Oh yeah!

My parents are always lecturing me
I tell them that it just don’t matter
Take away my MTV, but you can’t break the spirit
....but you can’t break the spirit, can’t break the spirit, baby!
No you can’t break the spirit...can’t break the spirit, baby!

Chorus: (x3)
Rock’n roll is the answer
Rock’n roll is the answer
Oh, oh, oh
Rock’n roll....is the answer
Rock’n roll...is the answer
Oh yeah!

Rock and roll...

It is the answer!

Rock and roll...is the answer

Yeah yeah!

Oh yeah!

Rock and roll...
It is the answer

Rock and roll...is the answer

Yeah yeah!

Rock and roll...is the answer

Rock and roll...yeah yeah yeah!

Rock and roll...is the answer

* The only two lines I'm not sure about are "I got sassed out in the dark up to me everythin' turned out alright" and "Take away my emptiness, but you can’t break the spirit" emptiness sounds like "MTV."

What happened to Hot Topic?

You got it wrong. It goes 'sex, drugs and rock n roll' Hot Topic emerged when I was just starting my Freshman year in high school. Growing up in suburbia sucked for a lot of reasons. One big reason being that there really were not any record stores, rock t-shirt shops or head shops in the area. I actually made my own rock t shirts for years, using stencils to spell out things like "The Beatles" and t-shirt iron-ons. You had to get creative and in many ways it was teenage DIY at it's best. I was introduced to Hot Topic the same way every bored suburban kid did...by going to the mall. When you live in the suburbs, all there really is to do is to visit the mall. And I did a lot of that in my youth. When I discovered Hot Topic I was pretty pleased and I could finally find shirts that said "Blondie" or "The Ramones" on it and I didn't have to make it myself. I was excited to find a store that sold so much of what I liked. Not long

Music posers

Ever see a girl in a rock t shirt who just doesn't look like she knows who they are? Have you ever been out in public, and spotted a person wearing a rock and roll t-shirt? Every time I do, which is if they're 12 feet or less away, I have to say something about it. That something would be "Yay! I love (insert band)! What's your favorite album?" Well, sometimes when I ask that question, I get a response I don't expect... *Blank expression* "I'm not really a fan of (insert band), I just like the shirt." My heart sinks. And then I want to punch them. This happened just yesterday. I was visiting my local pot club ( Berkeley Patients Group , woop woop) and I immediately spotted a girl wearing a Beatles shirt. I shouldn't even have to inform you how much I love rock music, so I can't help but mention it. I also feel like this is an obvious potential friend! I said to her "Yea the Beatles rock! Niiice!" And sh

We need to talk about this: The Foo Fighters are "AIDS denialists"

Preface: I am a fan of the Foo Fighters' music, so this isn't intended to be a hit piece. I genuinely feel troubled by what I'm about to share with you in this blog entry. I had no idea about this until just days ago. Recently I saw a video that addressed celebrities with controversial beliefs. The one that stood out to me was Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters being "AIDS denialists" (which I didn't even know was a thing?) aka "HIV Truthers". I immediately had to look into this because it sounded just too crazy to be real (and you should ALWAYS be skeptical of things you hear and do. your. research.) An article that I felt was very thorough on the topic was " Foo Fighters, HIV Deniers " "Maggiore’s message has apparently penetrated the minds of at least some Foo aficionados. She says she has heard from many Foo fans since the show — one of whom, she says, now works at the Alive and Well office. “AIDS is a toxic disease caused
