You Can't Kill Rock And Roll
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics

How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen, again
I keep falling for their lies and listening to their twisted version of the truth over and over again

Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head okay
They are manipulating the information and causing me distress

The things they will do and the things they will say
Their actions and words towards me are lacking in sincerity and accuracy

But they don't really understand
These people do not grasp the reality of the situation

Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the reason today
It hurts me to hear the complaints and cries of the people who are affected by their lies and manipulation

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
These people are ignorant about the subject matter they are discussing

And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
I doubt that these people with empty heads will accomplish anything positive

Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
I am fed up with their empty promises and do not want to hear them anymore

'Cause rock 'n' roll is my religion and my law
Rock and roll is my way of life and guiding principle

Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I will always stick to my principles, even if others find it odd

You can't kill rock 'n' roll it's here to stay
Rock and roll will never die and is a permanent fixture in society

Looking through eyes of time mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Their perspective is distorted and their stories are fictionalized and not truthful

Promises promises, telling me all of my glories overdue
They make empty promises to me and inflate my ego with false praise

How many times have I heard it before
I have heard these lies and empty promises many times in the past

And I'll probably hear it again
I expect to hear these same lies and promises again in the future

King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight losing to you
I may be seen as a powerful figure, but in reality, I am in a losing battle against them

Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
Even when they try to apologize and make amends, their words are insincere and empty

Outcome is obvious all for them none for us meaning you too
The positive outcome of the situation is only beneficial to them, and in reality, not beneficial to me either

Fear of rejection I need their protection
I feel vulnerable and fear rejection, so I rely on their protection even though I know it is not genuine

I'm making a stand
I am standing firm in my beliefs and will not allow them to dictate the situation any longer

I'm born to rock 'n' roll, I'm here to stay
Rock and roll is a fundamental part of who I am, and I will always remain loyal to it
