I Still Believe

Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen

Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen

Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren

The time is coming near

Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops

Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring stops

Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats

The sound is ringing clear

Now who'd have thought that after all

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought that after all

It was rock 'n' roll

Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody can take this stage

Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage

Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age

Will hold us in their arms

Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home

Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone

Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones

We hold them in our hearts

Now who'd have thought that after all

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought that after all

It was rock 'n' roll

And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints

Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats

And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound

That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need

For guitars and drums and desperate poetry

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone

Can find a song for every time they lost and every time they've won

So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives

We're saving souls and we're having fun

And I still believe

Now who'd have thought that after all

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought, after all

Something so simple, something so small

Who'd have thought, that after all

It's rock 'n' roll
