The kids were shouting let us out
And their parents did
Then two years then three years
Then show time and now
They're making rock and roll
Those kids are making progress now
They say hear us out in every town
They do it one mile by one mile at a time

Though it seems like every time
I get a little bit closer to what I want
I land further away
From where and when I was a little bit younger
Well if you still don't know how the cadence goes we say...

This parade still marches on
Louder than it ever was
Right Left Right
Come on
Come on get up and just follow the tempo 
where streets filled with people sing
On and on and on through the town
The beat goes on

The kids are yelling play that song that I heard that once
I don't know what it's called or how it goes but it's all the same to me
The girls are screaming let us in 
because we're what you want to solve all your problems for tonight
Because you're just so rock and roll

Though it seems like every time
I get a little bit closer to what I want
I land further away
From where and when i was a little bit younger
If you still don't know the way we roll we go...

This parade still marches on
Louder than it ever was
Right Left Right
Come one
Come on get up and just follow the tempo where streets filled with people
They sing on and on and on through the town
The beat goes on

Let's get back to tearing this place a new floor
Left Right Left
Come on
Come on get up and just follow the tempo where streets filled with people
They sing on and on
They sing on and on and on
The beat goes on
