John Waite Rock 'n Roll Is (alive And Well)
I wrote the president, but I got no reply He claims he tells the truth, he writes it in the sky The taxman's at the door, though he never seems polite They've got me cornered, cornered in the light, we could change that overnight So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls I spent some time at school, livin' by the rules They didn't like me much, hypocrites and fools Old men teach young men to surrender to the law The straight and narrow path leads to the same old door Gonne kick it in like before Chorus: So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls Heaven walks hand in hand with hell, rock 'n roll is alive and well Too many heroes looking down upon their feet It's time to raise the roof and shout it in the street It's time to take command, it's time to make a stand - yeah Don't need a uniform to know which side I'm on Don't need a set of rules to know what's right or wrong I've been an outcast in your eyes and to the law The right hand takes away, the left hand asks for more But we all know the score (chorus repeats 2x) Goodnight (repeats out) Gonna have some fun tonight, everything's alright ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
