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 dead 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
|
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
|
Is alive and well
|
So goodnight to all the world
|
Sleep tight all the boys and girls
|
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
|
Rock 'n roll is alive
|
Is alive and well
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Gonna have some fun tonight
|
Everything's alright
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Goodnight
|
Sleep tight
|
