lyrics

In the past they rocked
In the past perfect they had rocked
In the present perfect they have rocked
And that's all grammatically correct

In the future they will rock
In the future perfect they will have rocked
But in the present we rock
And that's the better tense

Rockin' in the present tense

This is not for those "about to rock"
Or a statement that "you will be rocked"
This is no promise of future rock

We are not "still rockin'"
We are not making a plea to "keep rockin'"
Past performance is no guarantee of future rockin'

Rockin' in the present tense

Don't take language for granted
Don't be that lazy
Christmas can come every day
When you're rockin' around trees

Rockin' in the present tense

Bill Haley was a hero to most
But he wasn't no Brenda Lee
He rocked his clocks in the future tense --
Time is for sand!
Motherfuck him and Chuck Klosterman

Rockin' in the present tense
