Play It Loud

I drove into a truckstop stepped up feelin’proud
The stupid gas attendant said stop that fucking row
There’s always someone somewhere who’ll try and turn you down
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don’t call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
I was lying on the beach taking the rays
Listening to Deep Purple reminiscing of old days
I was hassled by a lifeguard so I kicked him to the ground
There’s always someone somewhere who’ll try and turn you down
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don’t call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
I’m sick of people saying our music is too loud
They never stop complaining, try to turn us down
But if you want it louder we’ll turn it up full blast
They’ll never stop the music they’re living in the past
So if you need some action and nothing comes around
Don’t call the doctor turn up the sound
Play it loud
In your neighbourhood
(Repeat to end)
And The Bands Played On Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don’t know
Are there clouds up in the sky
We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n’roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night
We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on
