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
