Well, it's only rock and rollkeep you running from yourself

When the only way to slow down is to fall

It's only rock and roll that caused you to leave home

When the only way to get back is to crawl.



But the record people love you they can get you on the bill

Change your name to money dress up fit to kill

People all around you everywhere you go

Don't worry they love you son, it's only rock and roll.



Well, it's only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time

When you really ought to sit this one out

And it's only rock and roll keep on messin' with your mind

When you don't know what they're talkin' about.

All around the world everywhere you go

People got to have it, it's only rock and roll.



Only rock and roll only rock and roll

People all around everywhere you go

Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll.



Well, it's only rock and roll when your money's in the mail

And your love is on the back of the bus

And it's only rock and roll when your records start to sell

And you don't know why they're making such a fuss.



Telephone receiver ringing off the wall

Can I get a witness each and every call

Second that emotion chased into your soul

Don't worry lest you linger son, it's only rock and roll.



Only rock and roll only rock and roll

People all around everywhere you go

Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll.



Only rock and roll only rock and roll

People all around everywhere you go

Don't worry if they love you 'cause it's only rock and roll
