You feel bad
let me tell you
we all get the blues
sometimes life is a burden
way down in your shoes
when its bad, worse, worst
and you think youre cursed
well, if theres one thing
for the better
that can turn you loose

Its gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul
theres gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur
Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office
Sue lies by the pool
but on all week-ends
when I meet my friends
and were lookin round
for the action
we sure play it cool

Its gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul
theres gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul

Aha, you paint your world
and use all colours
aha, and then you find
it all comes out too bright
you know its only a lie
aha, the songs you sing
are too romantic
aha, and when you want the truth
they only spit in your eye
oh yeah, theyre only tellin you lies
oh yeah, theres gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad
let me tell you
we all get the blues
sometimes life is a burden
way down in your shoes
when its bad, worse, worst
and you think youre cursed
well, if theres one thing
for the better
that can turn you loose

Its gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul
theres gotta be rock n roll
to fill the hole in your soul
