"It Will Stand" lyrics
Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers Lyrics
"It Will Stand"
You take some music, music
Sweet flowin' music
A little movin' and groovin'
And rock and roll will stand
You take some heart beats drum beats
Finger poppin' and a-stompin' feet
A little dance that look so neat
You see why it will stand
But, some folks don't understand it
And that's why they don't demand it
They're out tryin' to ruin
But, forgive them for they know not what they're doin'
Well, ah, don't you misname it
In fact you might as well claim it
It's swept this whole wide land
Rock and roll forever will stand
Alright
Hear those guitars twangin'
Sharp as lightnin'
Hear those drums beat
Louder than thunder
But, some folks don't understand it
And that's why they don't demand it
They're out tryin' to ruin
But, forgive them for they know not what they're doin'
But, don't you misname it
In fact you might as well claim it
It's swept this whole wide land
Sinking deep in the heart of man
Come on boy take my hand
Come on boy join in on our plan
Come on boy be a man
'Cause rock and roll will stand
Sinking deep in the heart of man
Come on boy take my hand
Come on boy be a man
'Cause rock and roll will stand
Let's do it all over again
I feel good let's do it again
It'll be here for ever and ever
Ain't gonna fade
Never, no never
It's swept this whole wide land
Sinking deep in the heart of man
Come on boy take my hand
Come on boy join in on our plan
Come on boy be a man
'Cause rock and roll will stand
