You Can't Kill Rock and Roll Lyrics

[00:30.47] How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen again?
[00:38.13] Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head ok
[00:47.23] The things they will do and the things they will say
[00:48.75] But they don't really understand
[00:52.98] Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the reason today
[00:59.56] And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
[01:06.10] And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
[01:15.48] Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
[01:22.44] 'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my love
[01:29.77] Won't ever change, may think it's strange
[01:36.61] You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
[01:45.69]
[01:59.38] Looking through eyes of time, mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
[02:06.69] Promises, promises telling me all of my glories overdue
[02:13.72] How many times have I heard it before and I'll probably hear it again
[02:20.78] King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight losing to you
[02:27.01] And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
[02:33.96] And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
[02:42.35] Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
[02:49.66] 'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
[02:56.77] Won't ever change, may think it's strange
[03:03.68] You can't kill rock 'n' roll it's here to stay
[03:12.23]
[04:02.24] Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
[04:09.37] Outcome is obvious, all for them none for us meaning you, too
[04:16.47] The things they will do and the things they will say
[04:19.39] When they don't really understand
[04:23.63] Fear of rejection, I need their protection
[04:26.83] I'm making a stand
[04:30.09] 'Cause they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
[04:36.96] And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
[04:45.22] Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
[04:52.38] 'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
[04:59.43] Won't ever change, may think it's strange
[05:06.36] You can't kill rock 'n' roll, it's here to stay
[05:14.91] Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
[05:22.07] 'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
[05:29.03] Won't ever change, may think it's strange
[05:36.17] I'm forced to rock 'n' role, I'm here to stay
[05:44.77]
