Rock Problems
The Hold Steady Song Lyrics

The girls want to go to the party, but no one's in any shape to drive

So we called up your guy, and when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride

We get to the place and she don't want to dance, she says she's not really into this track

She wants to know what's going on in the room that's all the way in the back

Back home we were listening to catholic boy

And I got hung up on the people that died

I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too fried

She said I just can't sympathize

With your rock and roll

Isn't this what we wanted?

Some major rock and roll problems

That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen, I said I'll do anything but clean

She wants to know what I like being better, a trash bin or an ice machine

Some writer's by the fridge, said he didn't make the gig, wants to know if I was drunk

He said some kids that he knows from the net said the sound kinda sucks

I didn't want to stay in 'cause the walls were so gray

You can almost feel the tentacles tighten

I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too frightened

She said I just can't sympathize

With your rock and roll

Isn't this what we wanted?

Some major rock and roll problems

Didn't want to go out but it felt really right when someone put on 'heaven tonight'

Had a moment in the middle of 'In color' and 'In black & white'

Sing along to the 'southern girls'

Rip me out of my little world

These are rock and roll problems

These are rock and roll problems

These are rock and roll problems

These are rock and roll problems

This is just what we wanted

This is just what we wanted

This is just what we wanted

This is just what we wanted
