The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life
Are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild
And I can feel the heat

They'll call you names and spit in your face
But legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray
And hold your head up high

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll

Out of the ashes came the dawn
And the shape of things [bad word] Never surrender, just carry on
Straight to [bad word] 
You sold your soul and virginity
You can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born [bad word]  it's destiny
And now it can be told

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

On the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

Ooh yeah

Rock of ages carry the news
To the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock
Let the heavens roar

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

Yes, on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
Ooh yeah

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
