Lyrics
The cops said time's up, the lights went out The singer ran off and the bassist went home But the kid at the back never heard the shout He's still hitting those drums on his own Bang bang bang He won't stop now Bang bang bang Hear him pound Nobody told the drummer to stop Keep on hitting, keep on hitting Nobody told the drummer to stop Louder, louder, never quitting The crowd all left with their ears still ringing The owner locked up and turned out the sign But down in the basement the drums are still singing One more song, one more time Bang bang bang He won't stop now Bang bang bang Hear him pound Nobody told the drummer to stop Keep on hitting, keep on hitting Nobody told the drummer to stop Louder, louder, never quitting Stop Start Stop Start Everybody Hit it hard Nobody told the drummer to stop Keep on hitting, keep on hitting Nobody told the drummer to stop Louder, louder, never quitting Never quitting Never quitting Hey
