God gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul of everyone 
Do you know what you want? 
You don't know for sure 
You don't feel right 
You can't find a cure 
And you're gettin' less 
Than what you're lookin' for 
You don't have money or a fancy car 
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star 
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar 
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah) 
God gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul of everyone 
Now listen 
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar 
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far 
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five 
You can take a stand, or you can compromise 
You can work real hard or just fantasize 
But you don't start livin' till you realize 
I gotta tell ya 
God gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to everyone 
God gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul 
God gave rock and roll to you 
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung) 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to everyone 
God gave rock and roll to you 
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung) 
Gave rock and roll to you 
Saved rock and roll for everyone 
Saved rock and roll 
God gave rock and roll to you...
"I know life sometimes can get tough 
And I know life sometimes can be a drag 
But people, we have been given a gift 
We have been given a road 
And that road's name is... 
Rock and Roll!"
