Day after day I'm more confused Still I look for the sun through the pouring rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose And I'm feeling the strain Ain't it a shame Give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Beginning to think that I'm wasting time I don't understand the things I do World outside looks so unkind And I'm counting on you to carry me through Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away I said give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away When my mind is free You know that a melody can move me And when I'm feeling blue The guitars coming through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You've helped me along making me strong Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away I said give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away all right I said give me the beat boys and free my soul (oh now it's time to come on and free my soul) I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (we're gonna drift away) Why don't you give me the beat boys and free my soul (take me, take me, take me away) I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (oh) I said give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
