Rock 'n Roll Is (alive And Well) Lyrics - Singles - Waite John

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
