Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen
Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen
Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren
The time is coming near
[Verse 2]
Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops
Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring stops
Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats
The sound is ringing clear
[Chorus]
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all
It was rock 'n' roll
[Verse 3]
Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody can take this stage
Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage
Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age
Will hold us in their arms
[Verse 4]
Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home
Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone
Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones
We hold them in our hearts
[Chorus]
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all
It was rock 'n' roll
[Verse 5]
And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints
Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats
And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound
That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down
[Verse 6]
And I still believe (I still believe) in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry
And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone
Can find a song for every time they lost and every time they've won
So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives
We're saving souls and we're having fun
[Chorus]
And I still believe
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought, after all
Something so simple, something so small
Who'd have thought, that after all
It's rock 'n' roll
