Rock 'n Roll Must Live On

I had a talk with my few friends left
Just the other day
I said: "My friends, it's been a while
Since I've felt okay."

When they asked me why, I said I don't believe
This world is on its way
To better times
It may be time
For me to say goodbye

But rock n' roll, it must live on
In the hearts of those who can
So, bear this torch called rock n' roll
And bear it like a man
My friends were shocked at these words I said
They said "You used to be
So strong and large, larger than life..."
Where is the real me?

I said he's gone, drowning in a sea
Of tears he couldn't cast away
But I believe the day will come
I hope it comes, one day

And rock n' roll, it must live on
In the hearts of those who can
So, bear this torch called rock n' roll
And bear it like a man

In a world where the money rules
The music has to pay
In a world where the money rules
The lovers waste away

In eternity, when the debts are paid
The music will be freed
In eternity, there can only be
One true king indeed

And rock n' roll, it must live on
In the hearts of those who can
So, bear this torch called rock n' roll
And bear it like a man
