Rock and Roll

Lyrics

Lala, if, If I die before I wake
I pray to rock my soul to take
If I die before I wake
I pray to rock my soul to take

Shake it, yeah, here goes

Mr. preacher, yes I’ve sinned
I’m in a rock’n’roll band
And all those women, yes I choose
And I’m the one in demand
Confrontations with the law
You know I’ve done my time
Getting high, scotch and rum
Let me tell you they are friends of mine

I will cheat and I will steal
For the rock and roll
When I die, I give my soul
To the rock (rock and roll)

Yes I will, yes I will

Don’t need no money, don’t need no wife
I live a rock’n’roll life (he lives a rock’n’roll life)
So all you teachers and you kings
I’m gonna rock it tonight (he’s gonna rock it tonight)
Hey there, hey there, hey there scum
Hey there rock’n’roll clowns (Hey there rock’n’roll clowns)
Call me freak, call me nothing
I’m the one who’s gonna rock you down

I will cheat and I will steal
For rock and roll
When I die, I give my soul
To the rock and roll
To the rock and roll

When I die, I give my soul
To the rock (rock and roll), yeah yeah yeah
When I die, I give my soul
To the rock and roll

Rock and roll
What are you living for?
Rock and roll
What are you living for?
Rock and roll
What are you living for?
Rock and roll
Come on

I will cheat and I will steal
For rock and roll, for the rock and roll
When I die, I give my soul
To the rock and roll, oh, to the rock and roll

When I die, I give my soul
To the rock and roll, oh, to the rock and roll
When I die, I give my soul
To the rock and roll

Rock and roll
Are you ready to deal it rock?
Rock and roll
Ahh, the dealer
Rock and roll Ahh, the dealer
