[Verse 1]
The sky is fallin', and the wheels of life
Are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild
And I can feel the heat
They'll call you names and spit in your face
But legends never die
Just pick up your guitar on your knees and pray
And hold your head up high
[Chorus]
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created rock and roll
[Verse 2]
Out of the ashes came the dawn
And the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on
Straight to Kingdom Come
You sold your soul and virginity
You can't rape a heart of gold
'Cause you're born to rule, it's destiny
Now it can be told
[Chorus]
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Ooh yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Rock of ages carry the news
To the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock
Let the heavens roar
[Chorus]
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created rock and roll
(Pick up your guitar, get down on your knees and pray)
Yes, on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Ooh, rock and roll, yeah
And on the 8th day, God created rock and roll
Rock and roll
On the 8th day, God created…
