Black Sabbath - Back Street Kids Lyrics






I'm just another back street kid
Rock 'n Roll music is the only thing I really dig
Can't stop the music going round inside my head
I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n roll away from me

Sitting in the back seat of a shiny limousine
Living in a taxi can't remember where I've been
Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room
Writing about the stars and thinking about the hand of doom
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n roll away from me

Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going
Got to see yourself in others' eyes, surprised?
Living like I want to don't come easy, but I'm trying
Sorting out what's true and what are lies, it's wise

Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land
Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demands
So listen to the music, want to see you getting so high
'Cause I'm a back street rocker and I will be till the day I die
Nobody I know will ever take my rock 'n roll away from me

  1. J.... E....

    I had the album, then the cassette, then it took forever to find the CD a few years back. One of my favorites.

  2. B.... A....

    Every album with Ozzy singing that came out between 1970 with Paranoid and his solo 1980 album with Crazy Train on it is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!

  3. B.... F....

    You know Black Sabbath is the best band because all the comments are positive

  31. L.... N....

    This album is so much better than it gets credit for.. honestly this is my favorite Sabbath album and you should definitely revisit it

    L.... N....

    Sabatoge??? Vol 4??? Interestingg...

  32. B.... M....

    Pure kick ass rock n roll!

  33. B.... B....

    This album seems to get a lot stick for some reason. This may get an adverse response but in my humble opinion Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album is a lot worse than this album.

    B.... B....

    I only like a few songs from each of their albums, except for paranoid and black sabbath. I love almost every song in those albums.

  34. m.... a....

    Ozzy's RIPPING VOCALS! Tony's KILLER RIFFS!

  35. g.... h....

    Ozzy kills it on the bridge, of this song,,
    Listen to the king

    g.... h....

    Hell yeah

  36. g.... h....

    Izzy kills it in the bridge,,
    Izzy is the king

  37. �.... �....

    I like this album very much song that I like is dirty woman

  38. S.... Y....

    shit swings

  39. A.... ....

    Is this their retort to Zeppelin's Immigrant Song? Haha

    A.... ....

    Not the same beat... but I thought of that too...but consider "you fool no one" by DP...seems they were all trying out some fast beats at that time

  40. T.... W....

    most underrated sabbath tune, by far

  41. W.... ....

    this album wasn't to shabby.

  42. D.... m....

    Total awesomeness!!!

  43. C.... E....

    Essa intro!

  44. T.... S....

    BEST SABBATH ALBUM EVER!!

  45. E.... B....

    Sounds like that Zeppelin cover band Heart, has some explaining to do.

    E.... B....

    Heart is overrated never liked them.

  46. T.... w....

    Really great drumming by Mr Bill Ward!!

  47. P.... ....

    Good song. I have been a BS fan since about 1999 and haven't heard the later Sabbath albums.

  48. D.... C....

    I couldn't play this song on my cheap record player, it always made the needle skip lol

  49. G.... ....

    For an album that's supposed to be the start of Black Sabbath's decline and features two robots fucking for cover art, this is a pretty badass song.

  50. P.... V....

    Centuries ahead of its time! Seriously!

  51. L.... B....

    Лучший их альбом...

  52. V.... H....

    Muita gente fala mau desse disco. Mas eu gosto pra caramba.

    V.... H....

    Também kkkk, só não curto o never say

    V.... H....

    Eu também Vinicius. Mesmo a banda desestruturada eles conseguiram fazer um excelente álbum.

  53. G.... L....

    This is a great hard rock album . The bar for Sabvath is so high that this is considered failure . If any other band put this album out it could possibly be seen in a much better light ... if say Van Halen made an album only this good people would be ok with it . Or even Ozzy as a soloist , again it would be well received . To me this is proof of Black Sabbath being an upper echelon (sp) band .

    G.... L....

    Winning Grinn ozzy solo is not horrible its just the later albums after no more tears just not great I liked his first solo album the best.

    G.... L....

    Ozzmosis is awesome.

    G.... L....

    Well said

  54. P.... K....

    Great album to this day

  55. P.... K....

    What the fuck is Geezer doing on his bass here? So strange

  56. s.... h....

    Amen brother this was my theme song back then

    s.... h....

    Can't stop the music going round inside my head I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me

  57. A.... W....

    A little STYX Synth going on here!

    A.... W....

    Ash Wendy thats true dude!

  58. J.... P....

    Amen Richie....the crap they call music today.....IS crap.....

  59. i.... n....

    You are on UK no, I going their ... Glasgow

  60. m.... f....

    Intro reminds me of the Magnum P.I. theme song lol

  61. M.... H....

    Another guy who couldn't cope with their change in direction!
    Yep I was the same,now think its one of their best.

  65. R.... F....

    blew out the speakers in my car listening to this over and over!

    R.... F....

    Back then you had to over rate your speakers , if you were a rocker :)

  66. L.... D....

    Anyone else get an early Judas Priest vibe from this song?

    L.... D....

    Yes. Even the guitar tone is more late 70's Priest than Iommi.

    L.... D....

    Love this song and never realized the Priest vibe until I read your comment....good call!!!

    L.... D....

    @Lee Ralph Priest had 2 records at that point .
    And was active since nearly as long as Sabbath

    .
    Same place too.

    L.... D....

    Zeppelin all the way

    R.... A....

  70. L.... F....

    "I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead..."...fucking great !!

    L.... F....

    Fuck yea it is!! 46 Solar Cycles,and I still rock out.When they put me in the Casket,I want my right hand to be throwing the Devil Horns! Just a side note: I also love Pro Wrestling ( Independent and Foreign Leagues mainly ) and had I become a Grappler myself,this one would definitely be in my top three choices for my entrance music.Obscure enough that I do not think anyone else is using it,and it is also Bitchin'

    L.... F....

    I'm gonna listen this shit till i'm dead into my fucking grave.............yyeeaaahhh man.....
