Rock Problems Lyrics


The girls want to go to the party, but no one's in any shape to drive
So we called up your guy, and when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride
We get to the place and she don't want to dance, she says she's not really into this track
She wants to know what's going on in the room that's all the way in the backBack home we were listening to Catholic Boy
And I got hung up on the people that died
I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too friedShe said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problemsThat one girl got me cornered in the kitchen, I said I'll do anything but clean
She wants to know what I like being better, a trash bin or an ice machine
Some writer's by the fridge, said he didn't make the gig, wants to know if I was drunk
He said some kids that he knows from the net said the sound kinda sucksI didn't want to stay in 'cause the walls were so gray
You can almost feel the tentacles tighten
I didn't even want to go out 'cause I was way too frightenedShe said I just can't sympathize
With your rock and roll
Isn't this what we wanted?
Some major rock and roll problemsDidn't want to go out but it felt really right when someone put on "Heaven Tonight"
Had a moment in the middle of "In Color" and "In Black & White"

Sing along to the "Southern Girls"
Rip me out of my little worldThese are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problems
These are rock and roll problemsThis is just what we wanted
This is just what we wanted
This is just what we wanted
This is just what we wanted

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
