Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Well I clocked out late with a pocket fullta noise Sun sinkin’ low, yeah the boss had no choice Six-string hummin’ like a rattler in the shade Got dust on my boots, but I just got paid They said rock all night, yeah party every day Sold it on a billboard, stole your soul away Neon truth with a plastic grin Brother that ain’t livin’, that’s a hustle in drag, amen Pre-Chorus Static on the radio, promises bent Truth come due with the rent you spent Chorus Old school, old school — lied to you Rock ’n’ roll all night, party every day — stole your reality too Kick it, get it — the fuck, I had it Shake it loose, break the chain, yeah you gotta grab it Verse 2 Saw a preacher on TV sellin’ holy gas Three easy payments for a future and a past Corporate grin with a rebel disguise Selling rebellion in a pre-approved size I ain’t mad at the music, I’m mad at the deal They pawned off the image, never taught you the feel You don’t get free from a slogan and a light You get free when you stand up and bite Pre-Chorus Mirror cracked, but it tells it straight You don’t build a life by temptin’ fate Chorus Old school, old school — lied to you Rock ’n’ roll all night, party every day — stole your reality too Kick it, get it — the fuck, I had it Shake it loose, break the chain, yeah you gotta grab it Bridge (Talk-Sing / Boogie Breakdown) Get it together Kick it together Build it together — brick by brick, no glitter Ain’t waitin’ on a savior with a marketing plan Just a calloused hand and a self-made stand Guitar Break (greasy shuffle, stop-time hits, pick scrape into a low E growl) Chorus (Half-Time, Heavy) Old school, old school — lied to you All that shine wore thin when the truth came through Kick it, get it — the fuck, I had it No more borrowed dreams, yeah I’m done bein’ padded Outro I just got paid — in sweat and scars No champagne lies, just rusty guitars Build it together, yeah that’s the plan Old school blues for a modern man
