Текст песни: Ne Was Is Das Schön + перевод

Waite John

Essential John Waite

Rock 'n Roll Is (Alive And Well)

I wrote the president, but I got no reply

He claims he tells the truth, he writes it in the sky

The taxman’s at the door, though he never seems polite

They’ve got me cornered, cornered in the light, we could change that overnight

So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls

I spent some time at school, livin' by the rules

They didn’t like me much, hypocrites and fools

Old men teach young men to surrender to the law

The straight and narrow path leads to the same old door

Gonne kick it in like before

So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls

Heaven walks hand in hand with hell, rock 'n roll is alive and well

Too many heroes looking down upon their feet

It’s time to raise the roof and shout it in the street

It’s time to take command, it’s time to make a stand — yeah

Don’t need a uniform to know which side I’m on

Don’t need a set of rules to know what’s right or wrong

I’ve been an outcast in your eyes and to the law

The right hand takes away, the left hand asks for more

But we all know the score

(chorus repeats 2x)

Goodnight (repeats out)

Gonna have some fun tonight, everything’s alright
