Smack, crack, bushwhacked. Tie another one to the racks, baby. Hey kids, rock and roll. Nobody tells you where to go, baby. What if I ride? What if you walk? What if you rock around the clock? Tick-tock. Tick-tock. What if you did? What if you walk? What if you tried to get off, baby?
Hey, kids, where are you? Nobody tells you what to do, baby. Hey kids, shake a leg. Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby. Maybe you did. Maybe you walked. Maybe you rocked around the clock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk. Maybe I drive to get off, baby.
Hey kids, shake a leg. Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.
Ollie, ollie. Ollie ollie ollie. Ollie ollie in come free, baby.
Hey, kids, where are you? Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Smack, crack. Shack-a-lack. Tie another one to your back, baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll. Nobody tells you where to go, baby.
Maybe you did. Maybe you walk. Maybe you rock around the clock Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk. Maybe I drive to get off, baby.
Hey kids, where are you? Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll. Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby.
We recorded vocals, drums and acostic guitar totally live at Daniel Lanois's with Michael singing in a little telephone booth upstairs, and I was sitting on a velvet couch in the terrarium full of hothouse flowers and cacti. Most studios are made by people who don't make musicl they make studios. They're real antiseptic and grey and modular. Daniel Lanois's is like my house times ten. Peter Buck 1992

hey fans...have you ever heard the 'Drive' version the guys played on a show for Greenpeace It's totally different from the album version...but it's, as usual, G R E A T Thank you, guys . . .

I have a bootleg of Drive done live that is a much harder, ballsy, rocking version. I don't know where it was recorded though. I have a lot of good REM live & bootlegs I got when Napster was up if you're interested.
By Jesse
Great Song ... one of my favorites. Hope they play it on tour ... fast or slow ... doesn't matter.
Can't wait ... I'm the last show in Atlanta ... but good things come to those who wait....yes.... I'm waiting patiently.
I love these guys Michael gets extra
