Where Did the Rock Go - The Original Broadway Cast Of School Of Rock

Lyrics by：Glenn Slater

Composed by：Andrew Lloyd Webber

Produced by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Rob Cavallo

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

Blazing 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 youth and 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

Then the frantic end the rapture

Where's the magic of the moments only rock could ever capture

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 the end

Where did the rock go

All those feelings that I learned to ignore

If you flip the record and start over

Does it sound the way it did before

Where did the rock go
