The Marshall Plan Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the West 

Where Friday takes so long to arrive 

Johnny wakes up dreaming, turn's on the radio 

Then he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror 

Starts his day with a Rock and Roll pose 

Tonight's the night that Susie and he 

Are going to a Rock and Roll show 

Tonight, I'm gonna see some Rock and Roll 

Yeah, my favorite group is playing 

Tonight, I'm gonna see some Rock and Roll 

Well, it's showtime and he's caught up in the crowd 

He hates the crush but he loves the music loud 

He reaches out and Susie's disappeared 

Now Johnny's standing on a corner after the show 

Looking for his Susie dear 

But there goes his Susie in the band's limousine 

Yeah, well that's the way it goes at these Rock and Roll shows 

That's the way it goes, it's Rock and Roll 

That's the way it goes, it's Rock and Roll 

Now Susie's gone, and Johnny hears the thunder 

As he rolls another number and he counts 

He counts the times he's felt himself to be the hero 

'Cause ever since he was a boy he's heard about adventure 

As he looks into the mirror now he knows 

He must be the star and play guitar like thunder 

Find Susie at his Rock and Roll show 

Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp 

Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else taking my girl away, tell ya 

I know what I should do, and I'll put an ad in the paper 

Get a few other guys who want to play as much as I do 

Tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music, I'm gonna play some heavy music 

I'm gonna play bad, I'm gonna play loud 

I know just what I want it to sound like 

It's gonna sound like, it's gonna sound like 

This is Don Kirchner and tonight on Don Kirchners rock concert 

A new phenomenon in the music world 

With six million albums to his credit in just two short years 

My good friend, here's Johnny 

Now Johnny became a legend in his time 

Found it easier to live in pain 

Half a hero in a hard-hearted game 

Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the flow 

He hates the rush but he needs the music so 

Still he reaches out but Susie's disappeared 

Well, that's the way it goes at these Rock and Roll shows 

It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes 

It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes 

It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes 

It's Rock and Roll
