Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my


Out of the blue and into the black
Thay give you this but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the blaaaack

[Guitar Solo]


The King is gone, but he's not forgotten (Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten)
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten? (Johnny Rotten, Johnny, Rotten Johnny Wuhuuuu)
It's better to burn out, then to fade awaaaaaaay
The king is gone, but he's not forgotten

[Guitar Solo]


Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll will never die
There's more to the picture than meets the IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hey hey, my my
				

[Verse 1]
Well, the cop made the showdown
He was sure he was right
He had all of the lowdown
From the bank heist last night
His best friend was the robber
And his wife was a thief
All the children were killers
They couldn't get no relief
The bungalow was surrounded
When a voice loud and clear
Said, "Come on out with your hands up"
Or we'll blow you out of here
There was a face in the window
The TV cameras rolled
Then they cut to the announcer
And the story was told

[Verse 2]
"There's still crime in the city"
Said the cop on the beat
"I don't know if I can stop it
I feel like meat on the street
They paint my car like a target
I take my orders from fools
Meanwhile some punk blows my head off
Well, I play by their rules
That's why I'm doing it my way
I took the law in my own hands
Here I am in the alleyway
A wad of cash in my pants
I get paid by a ten year old
He says he looks up to me
There's still crime in the city
But it's good to be free"
Freedom

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I come from a family
It has a broken home
Sometimes I talk to my daddy
On the telephone
When he says that he loves me
I know that he does
But I wish that I could see him
I wish I knew where he was
That's the way all my friends are
Except maybe one or two
Wish I could see him this weekend
Wish I could walk in his shoes
But now I'm doing my own thing
Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad
Although my home has been broken
It's the best home I ever had

[Guitar Break]

[Verse 4]
Well, I keep getting younger
My life's been funny that way
Before I ever learned to talk
I forgot what to say
I sassed back to my momma
I sassed back to my teacher
I got thrown out of Bible school
For giving a finger to the preacher
Then I grew up to be a fireman
Put out every fire in town
Put out anything smoking
But when I put the hose down
The judge sent me to prison
He gave me life without parole
Wish I never put the hose down
Wish I never got old
Wish I never got old
Old
Old
				

[Verse 1]
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
And how many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannonball fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Verse 2]
How many times must a man look up
Before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
Too many pеople have died?
Thе answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Verse 3]
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times will a man turn his head
Pretendin' he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
				

[Verse 1]
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Welfare mothers make better lovers
People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Down at every laundromat in town now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
When they're washin' you can hear this sound now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Divorcee!

[Verse 2]
Hard to believe that love is free now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Out on the street with the whole family now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Hard to believe that love is free now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Divorcee!

[Verse 1]
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Welfare mothers make better lovers
People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Down at every laundromat in town now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
When they're washin' you can hear this sound now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Divorcee!

[Outro]
Divorcee!
				

[Verse 1]
Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts
A spirit came to me and said, "You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step, you gotta crawl to be tall"
And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget

[Chorus]
You've got love to burn
You better take that chance on love
You've gotta let your guard down
You better take that chance
A chance on love (On love)
On love
On love
On love
On love

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
In the valley of hеarts there's a house full of brokеn windows
'Cause the lovers inside just quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life? Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying, "How did it come to this?"

[Chorus]
You've got love to burn
You better take that chance on love
You've gotta let your guard down
You better take that chance
A chance on love (On love)
On love
On love
On love

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts
A spirit came to me and said, "You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step, you gotta crawl to be tall"
And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget

[Chorus]
You've got love to burn
You better take that chance on love
You've gotta let your guard down
You better take that chance
A chance on love (On love)
On love
On love
On love

[Outro]
Take a chance on
Take a chance on love
On love
Let your guard down
Let your guard down
On love
On love
On love
				

[Verse 1]
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl

[Verse 2]
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl

[Verse 3]
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl

[Verse 4]
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl

[Bridge]
Pa, send me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Pa, send me money now
I'm gonna makе it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby lovеs to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah
				

[Verse 1]
Well, I saw an old man walkin' in my place
When he looked at me, it could've been my face
His words were kind but his eyes were wild
He said "I got load to love, but I want one more child"

[Chorus]
There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

[Guitar Solo]
(There's a mansion on the hill)
(There's a mansion on the hill)

[Verse 2]
Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun
Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one
I was in hurry but that don't matter now
'Cause I had to get off of that road of tears somehow

[Chorus]
There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill
				

[Verse 1]
Mindless drifter on the road (Why do I?)
Carry such an easy load (Why do I?)
It's how you look and how you feel (Why do I?)
You must have a heart of steel (Why do I?)
Why do I keep fuckin' up?

[Verse 2]
I can see you on the hill (Why do I?)
Comatose but walking still (Why do I?)
Curves beneath your flowing gown (Why do I?)
Only I could bring you down (Why do I?)
Why do I keep fucking up?

[Guitar Solo]
Just a fuck up
A fuck up
A fuck up
A fuck up

[Verse 3]
Dogs that lick and dogs that bite (Why do I?)
Hounds that howl through the night (Why do I?)
Broken leashes all over the floor (Why do I?)
Keys left hangin' in a swingin' door (Why do I?)
Why do I keep fucking up?

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Keep fuckin' up
				

[Intro: Guitar solo]

[Verse 1]
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And that palace in the sun

[Verse 2]
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls, he often wandered
With the secrets of the world

[Verse 3]
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around the tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see

[Verse 4]
The women all were beautiful
The men stood straight and strong
He offered life in sacrifice
So others could go on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Hate was just a legend
War was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones

[Verse 6]
They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can’t do today

[Verse 7]
And I know she's living there
She loves me to this day
I still can't remember how
Or where I lost my way

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
He came dancin’ across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
Dancin' across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
Killer
[Guitar Solo]
Dancin' across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
				

[Verse 1]
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John
It don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's makin' big waves

[Verse 2]
Daddy's gone, my brother's out huntin' in the mountains
Big John's been drinkin' since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wonderin' what to do
The closer they got the more those feelings grew

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'
He told me "Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'"
When the first shot hit the dock I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face splashed in the sky

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you never figured
Was gonna fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love
I know I'll miss her
				

[Verse 1]
Long ago in the book of old
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page
Love was a winner there, overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait

[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love will break it down
Break it down
Break it down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Tomorrow is a long long time
If you're a memory
Trying to find peace of mind
Spirit come back to me
Give me strength and set me free
Let me hear the magic in my heart

[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love will break it down
Break it down
Break it down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Long ago in the book of old
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page
Love was a winner there overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait

[Chorus]
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love
				

[Verse 1]
There's colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes

[Verse 2]
There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can

[Chorus]
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

[Verse 3]
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light
Near a garbage can

[Verse 4]
Now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

[Chorus]
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

[Bridge]
We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We've got department stores and toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says "Keep hope alive"
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

[Chorus]
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

[Outro]
Keep on rockin' in the free world
				

[Verse 1]
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam, I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire

[Chorus]
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I get so blown away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I am just a dreamer but you are just a dream
You could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away bеtween us on our foggy trip

[Chorus]
You are like a hurricane
Thеre's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I get so blown away

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 1]
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam, I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire

[Chorus]
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I get so blown away

Tonight's the night, tonight’s the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight’s the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

[Verse 1]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
And late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
[Guitar Solo]
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day is long

[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

[Verse 2]
Well, early in the morning, at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won’t too soon
’Cause, people, let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline

[Chorus]
Tonight’s the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight’s the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Go Bruce

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
				

It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition
And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament
But before too long I might see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight
I think I'll roll another number for the road
I feel able to get under any load
Though my feet aren't on the ground
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down
I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while
Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile
I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day
No, I don't believe I'll be goin' back again
Think I'll roll another number for the road
I feel able to get under any load
Though my feet aren't on the ground
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down
