How many times can they
Fill me with lies and I listen again?
Twisting the truth and they're
Playing around with my head, okay

The things they will do and
The things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes
When I hear all the cries
For the reason today

And they don't really know
Even what they're talking about
And I can't imagine
What empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll
Is my religion and my law
Won't ever change
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll
It's here to stay

Looking through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises
Telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before?
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights
Pawn in a table fight
Losing to you

And they don't really know
Even what they're talking about
And I can't imagine
What empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll
Is my religion and my law
Won't ever change
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll
It's here to stay

Even the lines
That they give me in times
Of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious
All for them, none for us
Meaning you too
The things they will do
And the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand

'Cause they don't really know
Even what they're talking about
And I can't imagine
What empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll
Is my religion and my law
Won't ever change
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock 'n' roll
It's here to stay

Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock 'n' roll
Is my religion and my law
Won't ever change
May think it's strange
I'm born to rock 'n' roll
I'm here to stay
