Help! Need full lyrics of this song

[Shorty3]

I hope I am posting in the right section, so moderators please move it accordingly if necessary.

It's the song "Everything I Learned, I Learned from Rock and Roll" by the Amorettes.
I am trying to learn how to sing and play this song but cannot get the lyrics because I am an italian speaker, and could not find the lyrics anywhere on the web. I also wrote to the Amorettes on their web site but had no reply.



Any english speaking guy that might help me providing the full song lyrics please?

Thanks in advance!

I didn’t like my teachers.
I didn’t like my school.
I never followed the leader.
I never followed the rules.

Caught in a crossfire
Between good and bad.
It was the best education I ever had.

I sat alone just to prove I can.
I learned it all_________?___________?

Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Sex Pistols, Beatles, and The Rolling Stones
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.


This ain’t no movie.
It’s all for real.
Don’t tell me how to live, boy.
Don’t you tell me how to feel.

Don’t raise the gospel.
Ain’t no regrets.
‘Cause nobody ever drowned here
In their own damn sweat.

Fence me in—I’ll burn it down.
A bed of trouble’s all I need right now.

Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Sex Pistols, Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Joan Jett, Johnny Thunder, Dee Dee Ramone.

(Guitar solo)

Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Sex Pistols, Beatles, and The Rolling Stones
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Debbie Harry, Bowie, and the Undertones
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.
Everything I learned, I learned from rock ‘n’ roll.

That missing line sounds like:
I learned it all kicking out the jam

Thanks!
Now I will have to learn the song structure, though it sounds quite simple.

Let me add that I really appreciate being part of the Talkbass community,
a lot of nice people and a lot of helpful advice from the members!

I know this thread is several months old. However, I wanted to make a small correction to the lyrics. Gill Montgomery is singing "So raise the gospel." She is clearly singing the word "so" not "don't." I don't know if she was directly influenced by Slade's "Rock and Roll Preacher," but I'd say "Everything I Learned I Learned From Rock 'n' Roll" is a song written in the same vein. Which is a good thing, of course, especially if you're a fan of both bands.

I am an amateur Blues bass player & songwriter. I just listened to this song several times & think that the elusive words to this song might be:

I sat alone just to prove I can
I learned it all TAKE ANOTHER JAM

I would like to point out that the Amorettes have broken up. I think this actually happened before the pandemic. I don't know about the other two members, but Gill Montgomery is in a new band just getting started called The Hot Damn! They seem to be working on new material at the moment. In the meantime, here is a cover I just found moments ago.

Then that might explain why they didn't reply.

I don't know all the details, but it seems the band unofficially broke up but remained officially together with some temporary members to fulfill commitments. Gill Montgomery was the only permanent member left. Then not long ago some of those temporary members joined with her to form the new band. During this entire time period it's probable that the Amorettes website had already become inactive.

all my favorite girl bands break up. the amorettes, drain sth, thundermother (again) the donnas...
the hot dam's music is nothing like the amorettes. i suppose some folks like it, but it's not my thing.
it seems like women just can't get along with each other. gill montgomery is one of my favorite guitar players.
at least with thundermother, mona, emlee, and guernica formed the gems, and they still rock hard. i don't understand why they've chosen not to fill the bass position, but rather have different people stand in temporarily. fillipa hired all new people, and they're touring as thundermother (that's her m.o.)
they haven't released any new music yet. we'll see if they do, but i'm skeptical that they will.
