Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
[Verse 2]
Do you know what you want?
You don't know for sure
You don't feel right
You can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
[Verse 3]
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a fallin' star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
[Verse 4]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone
Oh, yeah
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
[Verse 5]
Now listen
If you wanna be a singer or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
'Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize
[Verse 6]
I gotta tell ya
[Verse 7]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Put it in your soul
[Verse 8]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
(To everyone, he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
(To everyone, he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Save rock 'n' roll for everyone
Save rock 'n' roll
[Verse 9]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone
[Verse 10]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 11]
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to you
Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone
[Verse 12]
(God gave rock 'n' roll to you)
I know life sometimes can get tough
(Gave rock 'n' roll to you)
And I know life sometimes can be a drag
(Put it in the soul of everyone)
But, people, we have been given a gift
(God gave rock 'n' roll to you)
We have been given a role and that role's name is
(Gave rock 'n' roll to you)
Rock 'n' roll
(Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone)
Yeah
[Verse 13]
(God gave rock 'n' roll to you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Gave rock 'n' roll to you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Put it in the soul of everyone)
Ooh-yeah, hey
(God gave rock 'n' roll to you)
That means you, and that means you
(Gave rock 'n' roll to you)
And that means you too, oh
How many people here like the sound of rock 'n' roll music?
(Gave rock 'n' roll to everyone)
(God gave rock 'n' roll to you)
Well I do, well I do, well I do, well I do-do-do-do
