Hollywood New York Michigan
Listen to the beat
Of another young band
With no deal
Hollywood New York Michigan
Listen to the beat

It's an illusion to sit and wait
It's hard to get a break
In the rock 'n' roll race

The competition is tough as hell
Hey just look around
They'll be hot on your trail

The road is longer
The pressure stronger
All the time
Fight through the hunger
Hang in there brother
Keep on singing loud

Hollywood New York Michigan
Listen to the beat
Of another young band
With no deal
Hollywood New York Michigan
Listen to the beat
You'll find the whole world
Will criticize
Mind who you listen to
Your heart is right

No nobody wants you
Just a band with no name
So you got to get
A rrrrecord deal signed

(repeat bridge and chorus)
Rock a by day – rock a by night
Rock-o-matic – to the limit
Rock a by day – rock a by night
You only gotta do
What a good band should
Cause we know by ourselves
What a good band should
