Hey Hey, It’s Rock’n’Roll

Hey hey, it’s rock’n’roll
This is the music to thrill your soul
It’s full of clichés and it’s full of shit
But you couldn’t live without it
Could you?

Hey hey, it’s rock’n’roll
It keeps you young until you get old
Say hello to the fashion scene
Say hello to the American Dream
Jetting out to L.A., man

Hey hey, it’s rock’n’roll
A job for life if you’re on the dole
If you can stay alive
Until you’re twenty five
You’ll be past it anyway

Hey hey, it’s rock’n’roll
You can have a mansion if you live in a hole
A centre spread in the NME
A programme about you on the BBC
A legend in your own lifetime

Hey hey, it’s rock’n’roll
It keeps you fed or leaves you cold
You can be a superstar
Riding in your fast car
But what it gives with one hand it takes away with the other

That’s the wonderful world of rock’n’roll
