Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alright
Rock 'n' roll, yeah
[Verse 2]
At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of the day
I can feel the sound of writing on the wall
[Verse 3]
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
[Verse 4]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live
[Verse 5]
In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
[Verse 6]
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
[Verse 7]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
I'm losin' control
[Verse 8]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock 'n' roll
Look here
[Verse 9]
If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screamin' through the air
[Verse 10]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live
[Verse 11]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock 'n' roll
Banners held high with a curse and a cry and it's
[Verse 12]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
You're feelin' down, spread it 'round, make it sound, it's good to be
[Verse 13]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Live, live, live, live
[Verse 14]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live
[Verse 15]
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live
