Guitar Intro
Intro
Turn it up!
Let it roar!
We don't need that pretty stuff anymore!
Verse 1
They served me songs with sugar on,
by the second verse my pulse was gone.
A velvet voice, a plastic grin,
a perfect beat without the sin.
I dragged an old guitar from its case,
one dirty chord lit up the place.
The windows shook, the glasses danced,
even Grandma took a chance!
Pre-Chorus
Keep your glitter, keep your gold,
we want something rough and bold.
Three loud chords, a little fire,
turn that volume even higher!
Chorus
The devil can have the rest!
We want the thunder in our chest!
Turn it up, shake the walls,
rock 'n' roll will outlive us all!
The devil can have the rest!
Put that backbeat to the test!
Hey! Hey! Let the whole world know,
we live and die for rock 'n' roll!
Verse 2
Disco came with shiny shoes,
pop brought glitter by the twos.
Techno marched in perfect time,
jazz played chords I couldn't rhyme.
They said, "Come and join the show!"
I said, "Thanks, but hell no!"
One loud riff came crashing through,
and showed those fancy boys what to do!
Chorus
The devil can have the rest!
We want the thunder in our chest!
Turn it up, shake the walls,
rock 'n' roll will outlive us all!
The devil can have the rest!
Put that backbeat to the test!
Hey! Hey! Let the whole world know,
we live and die for rock 'n' roll!

Guitar Riff
Verse 3
At midnight Satan hit the street,
wearing gold upon his feet.
He said, "I'll buy your finest tunes,
your pretty hits and silver spoons."
I said, "Take every song you please,
just leave my rock 'n' roll with me!"
He shook his horns and scratched his head,
"That bloody noise could wake the dead!"
Bridge
One for the rhythm, two for the roar,
three chords shaking up the floor.
No golden throne, no fancy dress,
just rock 'n' roll and one loud mess!
Chorus
The devil can have the rest!
We want the thunder in our chest!
Turn it up, shake the walls,
rock 'n' roll will outlive us all!
The devil can have the rest!
Put that backbeat to the test!
Hey! Hey! Let the whole world know,
we live and die for rock 'n' roll!
Outro
So when the devil comes around,
tell him we still own this sound.
He can take the world, I guess,
but rock 'n' roll?
Not a chance in hell!
