Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues Todd Snider

[Chorus]
Hey-hey, my-my
Rock and Roll will never die
Hang your hair down in your eyes
Make a million dollars

[Verse 1]
Well I was in this band goin' nowhere fast
We sent out our demo but everybody passed
So one day we finally took the plunge
We went out to Seattle and we started playin' grunge
Washington State, that is
Space Needle
Eddie Vedder
Ichiro Suzuki

[Verse 2]
Now to fit in fast we got flannel shirts
And we turn our amps up until it hurts
We got bad attitudes, and what's more
When we play we stare straight down at the floor, oooh
I ain't seen nothin' like that on television in, like, an hour

[Verse 3]
Now to fit in on the Seattle scene
You had to show people somethin' that they'd never seen
So thinkin' up a gimmick one day
We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note
Under any circumstance
We called it Silence
Music's original alternative
Roots grunge
