I wrote the president

But I got no reply

He claims he tells the truth

He writes it in the sky

The taxman's at the door

Though he never seems polite

They've got me cornered

Cornered in the light

We could change that overnight

So goodnight to all the world

Sleep tight all you boys and girls

I spent some time at school

Livin' by the rules

They didn't like me much

Hypocrites and fools

Old men teach young men

To surrender to the law

The straight and narrow path

Leads to the same old door

Gonne kick it in like before

So goodnight to all the world

Sleep tight all you boys and girls

Heaven walks hand in hand with hell

Rock 'n roll is alive and well

Too many heroes looking dead upon their feet

It's time to raise the roof

And shout it in the street

It's time to take command

It's time to make a stand

Yeah

Don't need a uniform

To know which side I'm on

Don't need a set of rules

To know what's right or wrong

I've been an outcast

In your eyes and to the law

The right hand takes away

The left hand asks for more

But we all know the score

So goodnight to all the world

Sleep tight all you boys and girls

Heaven walks hand in hand with hell

Rock 'n roll is alive

Is alive and well

So goodnight to all the world

Sleep tight all the boys and girls

Heaven walks hand in hand with hell

Rock 'n roll is alive

Is alive and well

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Gonna have some fun tonight

Everything's alright

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight

Sleep tight
