And On The 8th Day

(album: Lick It Up - 1983)

The sky is falling
And the wheels of life
Are grinding out a brand new beat
The streets are burning
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

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll

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
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny
Now it can be told

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

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

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Yes on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
On the 8th day God created rock and roll

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
