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 gettin' less than what you're lookin' for 

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

 [bad word]  
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 [bad word] 
You can work real hard or just fantasize 
But you don't start livin' 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 the soul 

 [bad word] break) 

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 

 [bad word] repeats out... 

"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes 
can 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!"
