You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues 
Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes 
When it's bad, worse, worst 
(And when you're feeling so bad) 
And you think you're cursed 
(And you've got it sad) 
Well, if there's one thing for the better
that can turn you loose 

It's gotta be rock'n roll 
To fill the hole in your soul 
There's gotta be rock'n roll 
To fill the hole in your soul 

My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school 
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool 
But on all weekends 
(Together again) 
When I meet my friends 
(I'm gonna see them now) 
And we're lookin' 'round for the action
we sure play it cool 

It's gotta be rock'n roll...

You paint your world and use all colours 
And then you find it all comes out too bright 
You know it's only a lie 
The songs you sing are too romantic 
And when you want the truth 
They only spit in your eye 
Oh yeah, they're only tellin' you lies 
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll 
To fill the hole in your soul 

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues...

It's gotta be rock'n roll...

There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul (5x)
