I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth Meeting so many people Who are trying to be free And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken Now we've found the key And if you want the wind of change To blow about you And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word Only who is the artist We got to agree A thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving What a help it would be So if you want this world of yours To turn about you And you can see exactly what to do Please tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand Riots by the people for the people Who are only destroying themselves And when you see a frightened Person who is frightened by the People who are scorching this earth.

Music is the traveller crossing our world Meeting so many people bridging the seas I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. We're just the singers in a rock and roll band. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...
I came into town as a man of renown A writer of songs about freedom and joy A hall had been rented and I was presented As the kind of a singer most folks could enjoy As I climbed up the stair to the stage standing there It was obvious something was missing I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed
They weren't in the mood to listen, they yelled out Play me a rock 'n' roll song Don't play me songs about freedom and joy Play me a rock 'n' roll song Or don't play me no song at all
I played them some songs about peace and contentment And things that I've come to believe in When I was through to a chorus of boo Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving
Now someone play me a rock 'n' roll song I've had it to here with your flowers and beads Play me a rock 'n' roll song Or don't play me no song at all
Well if I played you a rock 'n' roll song How could it be fair 'cause my head isn't there So I'll leave you with your rock 'n' roll songs And make my way back to the country
Still I hear play me a rock 'n' roll song Don't give me music I don't want to hear Play me a rock 'n' roll song I should have stayed home with a big case of beer Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself Today's music aln 't got the same soul I like that old time rock 'n' roll Don't try to take me to a disco You'll never even get me out on the In ten minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock 'n' roll Won't go to hear them play a tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only sure way to get me to go Start playing old time rock 'n' roll Call me a relic, call me what you will Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today' music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock 'n' roll
