You Can't Kill Rock and Roll
How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen again?
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head ok
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my love
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
Looking through eyes of time, mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before and I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll it's here to stay
Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious, all for them none for us meaning you, too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand
'Cause they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm forced to rock 'n' role, I'm here to stay
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head ok
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my love
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
Looking through eyes of time, mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before and I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll it's here to stay
Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious, all for them none for us meaning you, too

'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm forced to rock 'n' role, I'm here to stay
