"Rock Problems" lyrics - THE HOLD STEADY

The girls want to go to the party. But no one is 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 back

Back home we were listening to Catholic Boy, and I got hung up on the people who died
I didn't even want to go out because I was way too fried

She said I just can't sympathize with your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems

That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen. I said I'll do anything but clean
She wants to know what I liked being better: a trashbin or ice machine?
Some writer is by the fridge. He said he didn't make the gig
He wants to know if I was drunk
He said the kids that he knows from the 'net said the sound kind of sucked

I didn't want to stay in because the walls are so grey
You can almost feel the tentacles tighten
I didn't even want to go out because I was way too frightened

She said I just can't sympathize with your rock and roll problems
Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems

Didn'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 and White
Sing along to the Southern Girls. Rip me out of my little world

These are rock and roll problems

This is just what we wanted
(We got some rock and roll problems.)
