Glamorous Indie rock'n'roll is what I want It's in my soul, it's what I need Indie rock'n'roll, it's time Two of us Flipping through a thrift store magazine She plays the drums, I'm on tambourine Bet your bottom dollar on me It's indie rock'n'roll for me It's indie rock'n'roll for me It's all I need It's indie rock'n'roll for me In a clutch I'm talking every word for all the boys Electric girls with worn down toys Make it up, break it up, what do you care Oh what do you care? I take my twist with a shout A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out No sex, no drugs, no rock, no roll When it comes today Stay if you wanna love me, stay Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene Like lovers do on silver screens Let's make it yeah, we'll cause a scene It's indie rock'n'roll for me It's indie rock'n'roll for me It's all I need It's indie rock'n'roll for me In a clutch I'm talking every word for all the boys It's all I need Make it up, break it up, what do you care It's indie rock'n'roll for me Two of us, flipping through a thrift store magazine It's all I need Makin' up, breakin' up, what do you care? It's indie rock'n'roll for me
