Kings and queens and presidents,
Are tryin' to take the world in hand,
Jokers and freaks and Arab sheiks,
Are fightin' over chunks of sand.
But oh, my eyes have seen the glory,
For the coming of the chord.
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna change it?
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Rock & roll!
You don't need to fight when you're rockin' right.
Tin soldiers march around the world,
No matter what the people say,
One man makes all the policies,
While the rest of us get blown away.
Yes, tonight you got the power,
To lift your voices up and scream.
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna change it?
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Rock & roll!
We'll burn it up tonight, burn with all our might,
We don't need to fight when we're rockin' right,
We will rock & roll.
Wauaw . . .
Come on now, everybody,
Won't you join me in my dream?
Now's the time to lift your voices,
From a whisper to a scream.
(Rock & roll's gonna save the world),
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna change it?
(Rock & roll's gonna save the world),
(Rock & roll!)
We need to rock, (rock),
We need to roll, (rock),
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
We gotta rock, (rock),
To take control, (rock),
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
We need to rock, (rock),
We need to roll, (rock),
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
We gotta rock, (rock),
To take control, (rock),

Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna change it?
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Listen everybody we're gonna rearrange it
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Yes, we're gonna save the world,
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Oh, it's gonna save the world.
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Don't you know that's the way we're gonna change it?
Rock & roll's gonna save the world,
Rock & roll!
