Named for the formative location in lead singer John Wozniak's childhood, the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis, Marcy Playground emerged in the late 1990s with clean and subdued alternative rock. Wozniak's first effort, "Zog BogBean - From the Marcy Playground", was a self-produced labor of love, recorded in his bedroom studio with some help from his then-girlfriend Sherry Fraser in the early nineties. A small run of CD's was self-released by Wozniak, and to this day it remains extremely difficult to find, and highly sought after. Most copies that surface for sale go for over $100. After attending the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington for two years, Wozniak moved east to New York, where Marcy Playground began to coalesce around the songs that would become the self-titled album.

Rock And Roll Heroes Lyrics

Marcy Playground

Rock and roll heroes
Keep me so mesmerized
In the confines of my room
I'm moving to the sound
And rock and roll heroes
They help me sleep through the night
And in the morning wake up to that song
That played the night before

I may be a teenage rebel
I live life on bass and treble
but I know that these years
They won't come again

So I have rock and roll heroes
And baby I love them all
I got my headphones all turned up
Just cruising down the hall
Without my rock and roll heroes I would be miserable
And so everywhere I go
Ba-boom the radio

I may be a teenage rebel
I live life on bass and treble
but I know that these years
They won't come again

Yea mamma I'm more than crazy
Oh baby all my sense is gone
And when I'm pushing daisies
I'll have my tunes to carry on
Oh my rock and roll heroes
Oh my rock and roll heroes
Oh my rock and roll heroes
I'm lost without my rock and roll heroes
I'm lost without my rock and roll heroes
I'm lost without rock and roll
