Jane's Addiction was an influential alternative rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1986. They dissolved in 1991, but briefly returned to tour in 1997 and subsequently vanished shortly thereafter. They officially returned in 2001, before breaking up yet again in 2004. The band was influenced by punk, gothic rock, metal, funk, hard rock, and psychedelic styles; lead singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains. The band's name refers to Jane Bainter, a now ex-heroin addict, who was a housemate of the band.

Rock 'n' Roll Lyrics

Jane's Addiction

Jenny said when she was just five years old
You know there's nothing happenin' at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing going down at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a new york station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the amputations
You could just dance to a rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright

Jenny said when she was just five years old
My parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two tv sets and two cadillac cars
Ain't gonna help us at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a new york station
She don't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock 'n ' roll station
And it was alright
