Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?

I want the people to know
That He saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock 'n roll is wrong
They'll give me one more chance
I feel so good I want to get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it
All I'm really trying to say Is
Why should the Devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay
Jesus is the rock
And He rolled my blues away

They say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long
To make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand
What's a good boy doing
In a rock n' roll band
There's nothing wrong
With playing the blues licks
If you've got a reason, I want to hear it
Why should the Devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay
Jesus is the rock
And He rolled my blues away

I ain't knockin' the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knockin' the hymns
Just give me a song that moves my feet
I don't like any of them funeral marches
I ain't dead yet

All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say
Why should the Devil have all the good music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say
Why should the Devil have all the good music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say
Why should the Devil have all the good music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say
Why should the Devil have all the good music?

Jesus told the truth
And Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They Nailed Him to the cross
They laid Him in the ground
Should of known
You can't keep Jesus Christ down
I feel good everyday
I don't want to lose it
Al I wanna, I wanna, one more time now
Why should the Devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay
Jesus is the rock
He rolled my blues
He will roll your blues
He will roll your blues away
