Verse 1
Just a band out of Boston, Nineteen seventy-four
The local scene wasn’t happening, And everything was a bore
Hangin’ at the Rat, Heckling the bands on stage
“We can do it better than that,” “We can rattle this cage”
CHORUS
Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith owns the town,
The Kids were listenin’ to Iggy
And they were diggin’ that, they were digging that Detroit sound
Verse 2
Pulled the van up to load in, No one asked them to come (THEY WEREN’T INVITED!)
The Kids were impatient, They just wanted to have some fun
An industry convention, Now The Kids were up on stage
All Kindsa Girls was going wild, They had that crowd in a rage
CHORUS
Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith owns the town,
The Kids were listenin’ to Iggy
And they were diggin’ that, they were digging that Detroit sound
Verse 3
Opening for the New York Dolls, Playing “Taxi Boys” real loud
The Kids were exploding, And they could feel it from the crowd
But nothin’ lasts forever, I’d rather burn out than fade away
Now The Kids are remembered, And it’s gonna stay that way
CHORUS
Disco on the radio, and Aerosmith rules the town, The Kids were listenin’ to Iggy
And now I’m diggin’ that, I’m diggin’ that Real Kids sound
