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.
