BMT Youth Troupe: 'Steal Your Rock n' Roll' Piano Accompaniment

Alright, kids.  I'm talking to you.

Technology sucks, especially when you need it to work really badly.  Albeit, the piano accompaniment for your performance is finished and ready to go!  Many thanks to Josh Priess, music director extraordinaire, for the beautiful playing on such an epic song.

Find the lyrics after the video!





STEAL YOUR ROCK N ROLL

HUEY:

I listened to advice from folks smarter than me,

And I ignored it...

I listened to hatred from folks richer than me,

And I deplored it...

I listened to music from folks darker than me,

And you know I adored it!


FELICIA:

First come's a point in everybody's life

When they gotta stand up and face a fight!

Then comes a point in everybody's life-

-When they gotta wonder if they done right...

I swallowed my fear, followed my heart right here,

And through it all one almighty thought stood clear-


ALL:

Listen to the beat, listen to the beat!
