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, O.K.

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 image what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more

'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law

Won't ever change, may think it's strange

You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Lookin' 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 light

Losing to you

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about

And I can't image what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more

'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law

Won't ever change, may think it's strange

You can't kill rock & 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

'Cos they don't really know even what they're talkin' about

And I can't image what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more

'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law

Won't ever change, may think it's strange

You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more

'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law

Won't ever change, may think it's strange

I'm born to rock & roll, I'm here to stay, yeah
