| Essential 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
|
| 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 |
