Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Rock Problems' - The girls want to go to the party. But no one is in any shape to drive / So we called up your guy, and when he comes we're gonna ask for a ride / We get to the place, and she don't want to dance / She says she's not really into this track / She wants to know what's going on in the room that's all the way in the back / Back home we were listening to Catholic Boy, and I got hung up on the people who died / I didn't even want to go out because I was way too fried / She said I just can't sympathize with your rock and roll problems / Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems / That one girl got me cornered in the kitchen. I said I'll do anything but clean / She wants to know what I liked being better: a trashbin or ice machine? / Some writer is by the fridge. He said he didn't make the gig / He wants to know if I was drunk / He said the kids that he knows from the 'net said the sound kind of sucked / I didn't want to stay in because the walls are so gray / You can almost feel the tentacles tighten / I didn't even want to go out because I was way too frightened / She said I just can't sympathize with your rock and roll problems / Isn't this what we wanted? Some major rock and roll problems / Didn't want to go out but it felt really right when someone put on 'Heaven Tonight.' / Had a moment in the middle of 'In Color' and In Black and White / Sing along to the Southern Girls. Rip me out of my little world / These are rock and roll problems / This is just what we wanted / (We got some rock and roll problems.)
