How many times Can they fill me with lies And I listen again Twisting the truth And they're playin' around with my head, O.K. The things they will do and the things they will say But they don't really understand Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries For the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't image what empty heads can achieve Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more 'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law Won't ever change, may think it's strange You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Lookin' through eyes of time Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue Promises, promises Telling me all of my glories overdue How many times have I heard it before And I'll probably hear it again King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light Losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't image what empty heads can achieve Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more 'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law Won't ever change, may think it's strange You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Even the rhymes that they Give me in times of confession ain't true Outcome is obvious All for them, none for us Meaning you too The things they will do and the things they will say When they don't really understand Fear of rejection, I need their protection I'm making a stand
'Cos they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't image what empty heads can achieve Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more 'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law Won't ever change, may think it's strange You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more 'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law Won't ever change, may think it's strange I'm born to rock & roll, I'm here to stay, yeah
