Just Let Me Rock
Saxon Lyrics

Just let me rock (rock)
I just want to play my music and express myself freely.

You can take away the money
You can deprive me of wealth and material possessions.

You can take away the gold
You can deprive me of riches and precious metals.

You can tell me it's the truth
You can try to convince me that something is factual.

You know it isn't so
But I know the truth and won't be fooled.

You can say that I'm a vandal
You can accuse me of causing damage and destruction.

When I ain't done nothing wrong
Despite the accusation, I haven't committed any wrongdoing.

You can say you've had a good time
You can claim to have enjoyed yourself.

When you've really thought it bad
But secretly, you didn't actually enjoy it.

You can take away the profit
You can rob me of financial gain.

You can give away my share
You can distribute what's been allotted to me to someone else.

You can tell me it's a diamond
You can try to convince me that something is a valuable gemstone.

When it's just a piece of glass
When in reality it's just a worthless piece of material.

You can tell me I've got nothing
You can attempt to persuade me that I possess nothing.

When I hold it in my hand
Despite what you tell me, I physically possess something.

You can say a scrap of paper
You can claim that a written agreement has no legal value.

Was a contract that I signed
When I know that I entered into a binding legal agreement.

You can take away my heroes
You can remove those individuals who I look up to and admire.

You can take away my pride
You can strip me of my self-respect and dignity.

You can tell me I can trust you
You can assure me that I can have confidence in you.

Then take me for a ride
But in reality, you are manipulating and deceiving me.

You can say I'm drinking water
You can say I'm consuming liquid that's essential for survival.

When I'm really drinking wine
But in actuality, I'm indulging in a more luxurious beverage.

You can say I'm really clever
You can compliment my intelligence and wit.

Then you laugh behind my back
But in private, you're mocking and ridiculing me.
