Lyrics Old School - Overkill

Old School

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 bounced right out the door
Tonight Overkill at L’Amour, sold out
And if we had the chance to say
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
Stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Yeah, there’s blood all over me
I caught the eye of Johnny Z
Bang your head, thrash around the pit
Now, who the fuck would’ve 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, DD 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
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
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
Stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
