What an earth occurred to the beat
That moved us and lifted from the seat
It made you crazy it was fun
Now all we do is “fun” under the gun
The music we’ve been hearing for
Far too long
Hasn’t got the power
To affect us so strong
So, as long as I live
Rock’n’roll is not dead
As long as I live
Rock’n’roll is not dead
So, get on your feet and face the heat
Never ever let yourself make believe
Now believe me it’s back! (rock’n’roll is not dead)
See the look in my eyes
Hear how my heart cries
It feeds its needs from this style
The beat, the force
The fire and the steel wire
The people we’ve been listening for
Far too long
Haven’t got the balls to confess
That they were wrong, oh yeah
Uh yeah, can’t you see
This is not only me
I’m talking on behalf of millions
And surely even more
Rock’n’roll burns your heart
And fires up your soul
I ain’t never gonna lose my ground
I’m surely gonna stick around
