Lyrics:

Burton Cummings – The Rocks Steady

I’VE HEARD THE STORIES BOUT THE ONE IN THE HILLS
I READ THE PAPERS WHERE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS PILLS
I’VE SEEN THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT I BELIEVED
I’VE SEEN THE ONE WHO HAD THE MONEY TO BURN
I’VE SEEN HIM WAITIN’ FOR HIS LINE AND HIS TURN
AND IT’S ALL TOO PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND REAL
THE ROCK’S STEADY WE KNOW,
THE ROCK’S STEADY, IT’S ALWAYS EXCITING
THE ROCK’S STEADY, WE KNOW,
THE ROCK’S STEADY BUT THE PLAYERS
COME AND THEY GO…COME AND THEY GO…

I’VE HEARD THE STORIES BOUT THE ONE AT THE BEACH
AND ALL HIS MILLIONS THAT ARE STILL OUT OF REACH
AND NOW I HEAR HE WANTS A MEDAL JUST TO GET OUTA BED
WE GET ABANDONED BY THE PEOPLE WE CHEER
I HAD A HERO BUT HE’S NO LONGER HERE
AND IT’S ALL TOO PAINFUL, SIMPLE AND REAL
THE ROCK’S STEADY WE KNOW,
THE ROCK’S STEADY, IT’S ALWAYS EXCITING
THE ROCK’S STEADY, WE KNOW
THE ROCK’S STEADY BUT THE PLAYERS
COME AND THEY GO…COME AND THEY GO…

BUT DID YOU EVER WANNA BE ANYTHING ELSE
DID YOU EVER WANNA CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE…
NOTHIN’ EVER MATTERED BUT THE SINGIN’ AND DANCIN’…
