Intro
I came into town as a man of renown..
a writer of songs about freedom and joy.
A hall had been rented and I was presented..
as the kind of a singer that all could enjoy.
As I climbed up the stair to the stage that was there,
it was obvious something was missing.
I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed..
they weren't in the mood to listen......they yelled out..
Chorus
Play me a rock and roll song..don't play me songs about
freedom and joy.
Play me a rock and roll song..or don't play me no song at all.
I played them some songs about peace and contentment,
and things that I've come to believe in.
When I was through, to a chorus of 'boos,'
Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving.
Chorus
Now, someone play me a rock and roll song..
I've had it to here with your flowers and beads.
Play me a rock and roll song..or don't play me no song at all.
Well, if I played you a rock and roll song..
it wouldn't be fair, cause my head isn't there.
So, I'll leave you with your rock and roll songs..
and make my way back to the country.
Still I hear, play me a rock and roll song..
I don't care for music that I don't want to hear.
Play me a rock and roll song..I should have stayed
home with a big case of beer.
Play me a rock and roll song..or don't play me
no song at all.
Outro
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
