Lyrics:
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Put it in the soul of everyone.
Do you know what you want?
You don?t know for sure;
You don?t feel right, you can?t find a cure.
And you?re gettin? less than what you?re lookin? for.
You don't have money or a fancy car,
When you?re tired of wishin? on a falling star,
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar.
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to everyone.
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Put it in the soul of everyone.
Spoken: "Now listen . . . " If you wanna be a singer,
Or play guitar,
Man, you gotta sweat or you won?t get far,
Cause it?s never too late to work nine-to-five.
You can take a stand,
Or you can compromise,
You can work real hard or just fantasize,
But you don?t start livin? ?til you realize . . .
I gotta tell ya!
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to everyone.
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Put it in your soul . . . .
God gave rock and roll to you, (to everyone he gave the song to be sung),
Gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to everyone.
God gave rock and roll to you, (to everyone he gave the song to be sung),
Gave rock and roll to you,
Saved rock and roll for everyone.
Saved rock and roll . . . .
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to everyone. (Oh yeah!)
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Put it in the soul of everyone.
God gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to you,
Gave rock and roll to everyone (continued) . . .
Spoken:
I know life sometimes can get tough!
And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift,
We have been given a road,
And that road?s name is . . . Rock and Roll!
How many people here like the sound of rock and roll music?
Bless you! Bless you! Bless you!
