Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Oh

Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I tried to get off, baby?
Oh

Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Oh

Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I tried to get off, baby?
Oh


Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie
Ollie, Ollie in come free, baby
Oh

Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Baby

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to the racks, baby
Oh
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie
Ollie, Ollie in come free, baby
Oh

Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I am
Maybe I'm not
Maybe I tried to get off, baby
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I tried to get off, baby?
Oh
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I tried to get off, baby?
Oh
Baby
Oh

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
