God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're getting less than what you're looking for

You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishing on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

"Now listen":
If you wanna be a singer or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five

You can take a stand or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start living till you realize

"I gotta tell ya!"

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in your soul

God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in your soul

"I know life sometimes can get tough!
And I know life sometimescan be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift,
We have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
