Rock'n Roll Is Lyrics - John Waite

I wrote to the President 

But I got no reply 

He claims, he tells the truth 

He writes it in the sky 

The tax man'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 

Gonna kick it in, like before 

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 dead 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 

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, is alive and well 

So, goodnight to all the world 

Sleep tight, all the boys and girls 

Heaven walks hand in hand with hell 

Rock 'n roll is alive, is alive and well 

Goodnight, goodnight 

Goodnight, goodnight 

Goodnight, goodnight 

Goodnight, goodnight 

Gonna have some fun tonight 

Every thing's all right 

Goodnight, goodnight 

Goodnight, sleep tight
