BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD - For What It’s Worth (1966)

Theres something happening here
What it is aint exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think its time we stop, children, what’s that sound……

Everybody look what’s going down..
Theres battle lines being drawn
Nobodys right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think its time we stop, hey, what’s that sound…..

Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat…
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side.
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound

Everybody look whats going down….

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away….

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look whats going down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound…
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now, what’s that sound…
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound…

Everybody look whats going down…

BEAT - Rock’n’Roll Girl (1979)

I saw all the people dancing on the floor
I wish there was an easier way
To meet the girls of today
And if I had a chance this is what I’d say

I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl

I pick up the phone and get a dial tone
I call up the number but nobody is home
But I saw it on my tv
They said there’s someone for me
I wish she would answer and give me her name

I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl

I seem them walking one by one
I hear them talking and they are gone
I wish there was an easier way
To Meet the girls of today
I really wanna talk but what can I saw

I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl

I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl
I wanna be with a rock ‘n roll girl

JOHNNY THUNDERS & THE HEARTBREAKERS - Chinese Rocks (1977)

(Dee Dee Ramone)

Somebody called me on the phone
they said hey, is Dee Dee home
do you wanna take a walk
do ya wanna go and cop
do ya wanna go get some chinese rocks? ( do you wanna go suck some chinese cock- live show changes)

I’m living on chinese rocks
all my best things are in hock
I’m living on chinese rocks
everything is in the pawn shop

The plaster’s falling off the wall
my girlfriend’s crying in the shower stall
It’s hot as a bitch
I shoulda been rich
But I’m just diggin this chinese ditch

repeat chorus

repeat verse two

repeat chorus 2x

THE CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND - Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In) (1967)

Gonna find a way into society
There might be a way, mediocrity
I’ll travel that road
some others have tried
You might laugh at me
You got so much pride
But you and your friends you might cry
When you see
that I have passed you by

Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark
Are you gonna be there
When I set the spark
At the Love-In with your head in the air
Well I may be thankful
that there’s people out there to help me
If I choose the right direction when I’m
making my connection in this world

There’s too many people
who don’t know where they belong
They need someone
to tell them right from wrong
You better break away
Try to be yourself
Don’t leave your future to someone else
Design the laws
that gonna govern your fate
You better watch yourself
It might be too late

Are you gonna be there
With a broken heart
Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark, at the Love-In
When I set that spark that starts the
flame that burns the things so that
they’ll be too late to be accounted for
I open up my door and let them in

Are you gonna be there
