Everybody waits for easy money,
Scared to work their fingers to the bone
I can't wait, it's such a long time coming,
Got to go and make it on my own

Carry on, let the bad times
Do it wrong, but do it when you can
Can't stand on you, I got no reason
Nothing ever goes the way you planned

It takes your heart, heart and soul,
That's rock 'n' roll
And when you're left out in the cold,
That's rock 'n' roll

Which way do you turn for satisfaction?
Born to lose was never on my mind
Get me till I'm old is some reaction,
Hoping every cloud is silver lined
Broken dreams, easy living,
But they call, but leave me just the same
Many needs there's no question,
Take a fall and start out once again

It takes your heart, heart and soul,
That's rock 'n' roll
And when you're left out, left out cold,
That's rock 'n' roll

That's rock 'n' roll, that's rock 'n' roll

It takes your heart, takes your soul,
That's rock 'n' roll
And when you're left out, left out in the cold,
That's rock 'n' roll

That's rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll,
That's rock 'n' roll
