The voices of the future
 Heard the voices of the past
 The voices that were saying
 That it would never last
 They said that it was evil
 Just a passing fad
 The music of the devil
 It surely must be bad

 Aaah..but rock 'n roll lives on and on
 And hip-hop, funk, and soul
 And the voices of the future
 Help to keep the story told
 That the barrio keeps getting smaller
 Growing up keeps getting harder
 And all we've ever tried to say
 Is help us find our way< BR>A way...a way...a way away...
 Whoo
