A.D. 1928/Rockin' the Paradise

Styx

Tonight's the night we'll make history,
as sure as dogs can fly
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here to night
So take your seats and don't be late,
we need your spirits high
To turn on these theatre lights
and brighten the darkest skies
Here at the Paradise.

What'cha doing tonight
have you heard that the world's gone crazy
young Americans listen when I say
there's people putting us down
I know they're saying that we've gone lazy
to tell you the truth we've all seen better days

Don't need no fast buck, lame duck, profits for fun
quick trick plans take the money and run
We need the long term, slow burn, getting it done
and some straight talking, hard working son of a gun

So what'cha doing tonight
I got faith in our generation
let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't looking to fight
but I know with determination
we can chalenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

com'on and take pride, be wise in spotting the fools
big shots, crackpots, bending the rules
a fair shot here for me and for you
knowing that we can't lose
and we'll be
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
tonight, tonight

com'on and take pride, be wise in spotting the fools
big shots, crackpots, bending the rules
a fair shot here for me and for you
knowing that we can't lose
then we'll be
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
Rocking in Paradise, rocking the Paradise tonight
