Only Rock Can Save Us Now

Tyler Read


Don't call the authorities oh no 
They won't believe a word you say 
It's an alibi on a blank sheet of paper 
You keep turning and turning it over to the next page 
But those eyes those pale blue and white wyes 
that woke me up in the middle of the night 
Spun me around and around and around in my room 
So why should I feel sympathy for you 

Hey kids rock and roll 
before the devil comes to take your soul tonight 
Whoa oh, whoa oh, oh oh oh 
Hey kids rock and roll you can stay young 
and you'll never grow old and die 
Whoa oh, whoa oh, oh oh oh 

Now I can't even walk down the street 
What if people looked at you 
the way they're looking at me 
It's like I'm caught in a dream sequence 
It's been cut up, looped, and now its stuck on repeat 

Oh no this is what I was afraid of 
I let him in and he got to the ones I love 
Tell everyone that you know 
This is how it feels to lose control 

Well I hope that I'm wrong but I know 
that only rock and roll can save us now
