Rock 'N Roll
Brass and Adams Lyrics

The lyrics to Brass and Adams's song Rock 'n Roll convey the apparent conformity that comes with being a musician. The phrase "Everybody's cool playing rock n roll" is repeated twice to emphasize the point. The artist sings about feeling out of place despite being surrounded by a group of musicians. The lyrics express a feeling of social isolation and self-doubt, as the artist fails to fit in with his peers due to his inability to feel confident playing rock n roll.

The lyrics further explore the feelings of the artist, who admits to struggling with a mental obsession about a girl. This internal struggle is compounded by the difficulty in fitting in with the surrounding musicians, who seem to be unbothered by being a part of the music scene. Thus, the overarching feeling conveyed throughout this song is the loneliness and self-doubt that comes with trying to fit into a group, particularly in the music industry, where any measure of success can often feel predetermined.
