ROCK ‘n’ ROLL
Rock n Roll is here to stay
Bill Hayley said it that way
Our parents said it was evil and corrupt
but our minds and bodies, it lifted
up.
Today, it is sung in a different tune
and we the parents,
see in our kids eyes, all it's gloom.
They sing of death, destruction and
hate
I wish we could go back before it's
too late.
The singers of yesteryear would roll
in their graves,
if they heard their songs twisted this
way.
And our parents would burn them at
the stake
if they only knew,
at what price and what it would take.
