Gotta big monkey and he's on my back
It's warmer than China, it's better than crack
It's burnin' like fire, it's takin' my soul, yeah
So damn addicted to rock 'n' roll
All my life's a mere distraction
I'm about to lose my mind, yeah
I just want some kind of action
Rock 'n' roll state of mind
White boys stole it back in '55
Turned in to disco in '75
Said it all started with "Blue Suede Shoes", yeah
For years brothers called it just rhythm and blues
But the King's the main attraction
Makin' kids just lose their minds, oh, yeah
White folks had a strange reaction
Rock 'n' roll state of mind
Rock 'n' roll state of mind, ow!
Money can't buy it 'cause it can't be sold
(Check it out)
If you say it's too loud, then you're too fuckin' old
Package it pretty and make it so slick, yeah
'Cause they know what you're sellin'
They know every trick, ooh, yeah
Kids just want some satisfaction
Kids just want to lose their minds, oh!
You can tell by their reaction
I'm in a rock 'n' roll state of mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Rock 'n' roll state of mind
Hear me talking!
Rock 'n' roll state of mind
Rock 'n' roll state of mind
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind, yeah
