Kings and queens and presidents
Are tryin' to take the world in hand
Jokers and freaks and Arab sheiks
Are fightin' over chunks of sand
But, oh
My eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the chord, cuz
CHORUS:
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna
change it
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
Rock & roll!
You don't need to fight when you're rockin'
right
Now tin soldiers march around the world
No matter what the people say
One man makes the policy
While the rest of us get blown away
But, oh
Tonight you got the power
So lift your voices up and scream!
CHORUS
We'll burn it up tonight
We'll burn with all our might
'Cuz we don't need to fight
When we're rockin' right
Come on now everybody
And won't you join me in my dream?
Now's the time to lift your voices
From a whisper to a scream
CHORUS
(WHISPER)
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
Don't you know that's the way we're
gonna change it
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
Rock & roll
(SCREAM)
We need to rock (rock)
We need to roll (rock)
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
We need to rock (rock)
To take control (rock)
Rock & roll's gonna save the world
REPEAT CHORUS
