Where Did the Rock Go? Lyrics by The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock

School of Rock: The Musical (Original Cast Recording) [Deluxe Edition]

2015

Back when I was younger
Wild and bold and free
I can still remember
How the music used to be
Chords like rolling thunder
Loud beyond control
Every note and lyric
Branded right across my soul
Where did the rock go?
Where's the rush of those electric guitars?
Where are all those voices raised in heaven
Raining down like shooting stars?
Tell me where is the passion?
Where's the rattle and the roar and the buzz?
Where do last year's one-hit wonders go to?
And what happened to the girl I was?
Somehow I got older
Year by busy year
Guess the songs kept playing
But I didn't stop to hear
All that youthful swagger
Turned to grown-up doubt
As the world spun like a record
And the music faded out
Where did the rock go?
Where's the pounding of the drums in my veins?
When did all the static fill the airwaves?
When it's gone then what remains?
Tell me where did the time go?
Where's the joy I used to know way back when?
Where's the power and the beauty
The frantic end, the rapture?
Where's the magic of the moment
Only rock could ever capture?
And now the only thing I'm hearing
Are the echoes disappearing
Sorry for the outburst
Please, I'll be okay
Let's keep this our secret
Who'd believe it anyway?
We'll pretend it never happened
File it and forget
Still, thanks for the reminder
That there's music in me yet
Where did the rock go?
All those feelings that I've learned to ignore?
If you flip the record and start over
Does it sound the way it did before?
Where did the rock go?
