We played it fast, we played it loud
A bit too much, a bit too proud
The only way we knew to do it right
It washed away the misery, so do you know your history?
Or did you only show up for the fight?
Now all my friends are headed to L'Amour
(Music's L'Amour, The Rock Capital Of Brooklyn)
Half of them are bounced right out the door
(Tonight Overkill at L'Amour, sold out!)
And if we had the chance to stay
Not to go another way
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, there's blood all over me
I cought the eye of Johnny Z
Bang your head, thrash around the pit
Now who the fuck would have thunk?
They're playing us on Eddie Trunk
Catch some air, dive, who gives a shit?
And all my friends are headed to the Ritz
(Hey, it's Eddie Trunk with a great new band out of Jersey, Overkill)
Bobby G, Rat Skates, D.D. and Blitz
(Here's Rotten To The Core from their debut 'Feel The Fire')
And if we get the chance to play
No, we'll never go away
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
