I wrote the president But I got no reply He claims he tells the truth He writes it in the sky The taxman's at the door Though he never seems polite They've got me cornered Cornered in the light We could change that overnight So goodnight to all the world Sleep tight all you boys and girls I spent some time at school Livin' by the rules They didn't like me much Hypocrites and fools Old men teach young men To surrender to the law The straight and narrow path Leads to the same old door Goin' to kick it in like before So goodnight to all the world Sleep tight all you boys and girls Heaven walks hand in hand with hell Rock 'n roll is alive and well Too many heroes looking dead upon their feet It's time to raise the roof And shout it in the street It's time to take command It's time to make a stand Yeah Don't need a uniform To know which side I'm on Don't need a set of rules To know what's right or wrong I've been an outcast In your eyes and to the law The right hand takes away The left hand asks for more But we all know the score So goodnight to all the world Sleep tight all you boys and girls Heaven walks hand in hand with hell Rock 'n roll is alive Is alive and well So goodnight to all the world Sleep tight all the boys and girls Heaven walks hand in hand with hell Rock 'n roll is alive Is alive and well Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Gonna have some fun tonight Everything's alright Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Sleep tight
