How many times
Can they fill me with lies
And I listen again
Twisting the truth
And they´re playin´ around with my head, O.K.
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 talkin´ about
And I can´t image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don´t want your promises no more
´Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won´t ever change, may think it´s strange
You can´t kill rock & roll, it´s here to stay

Lookin´ 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 light
Losing to you

And they don´t really know even what they´re talkin´ about
And I can´t image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don´t want your promises no more
´Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won´t ever change, may think it´s strange
You can´t kill rock & roll, it´s here to stay

Even the rhymes 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

´Cos they don´t really know even what they´re talkin´ about
And I can´t image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don´t want your promises no more
´Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won´t ever change, may think it´s strange
You can´t kill rock & roll, it´s here to stay

Leave me alone, don´t want your promises no more
´Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won´t ever change, may think it´s strange
I´m born to rock & roll, I´m here to stay, yeah
