Live to Rock Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, you gotta live to rock
[Verse 1]
When I was a boy, I didn't know what I should do
They said get an education, you gotta forget about the blues
But I was hooked on rock and roll, I got a demon in my soul
I got one thing to say, you gotta, gotta break away
[Chorus]
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
[Verse 2]
I could've been a soldier, I could've been a lawyer
I could've been a teacher; what about a preacher?
But I got news for you, you've gotta dig these rhythm and blues
I was waiting for the day when I could, when I could break away
[Chorus]
Live to rock
Never stop
Live to rock
Now blow your top
[Bridge]
I could've been a soldier
I could've been a teacher
Could you see me as a preacher?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Just follow the rules, that's what they said to me
You gotta get an education, you gotta forget about the blues
But I was hooked on rock and roll, I got a demon in my soul
I got one thing to say, you gotta let the music play
[Chorus]
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Now blow your top
[Bridge]
Gotta live to rock
You gotta never-never-never-never stop
Live to rock
You gotta blow your top
[Chorus]
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Gotta never-never-never-never-never stop
You gotta live to rock
Ooh, you gotta live to rock
When I was a boy, I didn't know what I should do
They said get an education, you gotta forget about the blues
But I was hooked on rock and roll, I got a demon in my soul
I got one thing to say, you gotta, gotta break away
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
I could've been a soldier, I could've been a lawyer
I could've been a teacher; what about a preacher?
But I got news for you, you've gotta dig these rhythm and blues
I was waiting for the day when I could, when I could break away
Live to rock
Never stop
Live to rock
Now blow your top
I could've been a soldier
I could've been a teacher
Could you see me as a preacher?
Just follow the rules, that's what they said to me
You gotta get an education, you gotta forget about the blues
But I was hooked on rock and roll, I got a demon in my soul
I got one thing to say, you gotta let the music play
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Now blow your top
Gotta live to rock
You gotta never-never-never-never stop
Live to rock
You gotta blow your top
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Blow your top
Live to rock
Never stop
You gotta live to rock
Gotta never-never-never-never-never stop
You gotta live to rock
