The kids were shouting "Let us out!"

And their parents did

Then 2 years, then 3 years

Then showtime and now they're making rock n roll

Those kids are making progress now

They're saying "Hear us out!" in every town

They do it 1 mile by 1 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, this year don't know how cadence goes

We say:

This parade still marches on

Louder than it ever was

Right, left, right, c'mon

C'mon 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 the 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 were what you want to solve all your problems for tonight

Because you're just so rock 'n' 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, c'mon

C'mon 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

(Whoo)

Let's get back to sharing this place and the floor

Left, right, left, c'mon

C'mon get up and just follow the tempo

Where streets filled with people

They sing on, on, they sing and on and on and on

The beat goes on
