Rock City News Lyrics

don't stop believin', that you can't do nothin', get yourself second-hand guitar, and set the world on fire, any old axe will do, anything but a squire, rock city news, you gotta pay your dues at the rock city news, if you want to sing the blues, living on a wing and prayer, out on the strip, nobody cares, scabbing of the valley chick, sleeping on the practice room the floor, pretty soon the record company will be banging on your door, rock city news, you gotta pay your dues, at the rock city news, if you want to sing the blues, dave! rock city news, you gotta pay your dues at the rock city news, if you want to pay to lose, like drinkin' booze, you know it ain't no ruse, put on your dancing shoes, and stick an ad in the rock ccity news, the rock city news...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

somewhat catchy song about the niceties of being a nerd and spontaneously becoming a "rock star" and suddenly having a life full of intrigue that being a rock star supposedly implies.
