Lyrics

In the world of rock and roll There is no time to stop It's a fast lane to a fast plane When you're flying for the top And the bright lights fall down on you And the money does the same And all those hungry people Are screaming out your name And the little teeny boppers Will beg for one night stands So they can feel important When they tell all their friends And the one you hate the most Is the newest up-and-comer And the one you lovе the most Just ran off with your drummer And agents will abusе you Promoters want to use you So they can line their pockets With what's left down in your soul And all that autographing And all those people clapping There ain't no time for napping In the world of rock and roll I blew 'em all away in Cincinnati I left 'em in the aisles in L.A Had 'em standing out the door down in Miami And they were lined up clear to Tampa Bay Tomorrow it's another show And talking on the radio And rolling down that lost highway So hang on, baby It's a fast ride maybe But it's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll You know I don't really love you You know I won't remember your name But you know if you don't want to love me I've got another girl on the way Tomorrow it's another show Dallas, San Antonio Chicago, San Francisco, Bombay So hang on, baby It's a fast ride maybe But it's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's all right We're gonna rock all night, baby It's all right 'Cause it's rock and roll It's all right We're gonna rock all night, baby It's all right 'Cause it's rock and roll It's all right We're gonna rock all night, baby It's all right 'Cause it's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll Janis died when she was sleeping And I was only seventeen Elvis died at home in Memphis But that won't ever happen to me So line me up and let me go I got to do another show And bring those people down to their knees So hang on baby It's a fast ride maybe But it's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll It's rock and roll (It's rock and roll) It's rock and roll (It's rock and roll) It's rock and roll (It's rock and roll) It's rock and roll (It's rock and roll)
