Gotta big monkey and he's on my back
It's warmer than china, it's better thatn crack
It's burnin' like fire, it's takin' my soul
So damn addicted to rock-n-roll
All my life's a mere distraction
I'm about to lose my mind
I just want some kind of action

Rock-n-roll state of mind

White boys stole it back in '55
Turned in to disco in '75
Said it all started with blue suede shoes
For years brothers called it just rhythm and blues
But the king's the main attraction
Makin' kids just lose their mind
White folks had a strange reaction

Rock-n-roll state of mind
Rock-n-roll state of mind

Money can't buy it 'cause it can't be sold
If you say it's too loud, then you're too f***in' old
Package it pretty and make it so slick
They know what you're sellin'
They know every trick
Kids just want some satisfaction
Kids just want to lose their mind
You can tell by their reaction
I'm in a

Rock-n-roll state of mind
Rock-n-roll state of mind
State of mind
State of mind
