Lyrics

Long Live Rock’n’Roll / Lazy

Mr. Ritchie Blackmore!

Rock and roll, yeah!

At the end of a dream

If you know where I mean

When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way

At the end of today

I could feel the sound of writing on the wall

It cries for you

It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind

I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

In a different time

When the words didn't rhyme

You could never quite be sure

Then on with the change

It was simple but strange

And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all

It cries for you

It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind

I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

I am losing control

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

If you suddenly see

What has happened to me

You should spread the word around

And tell everyone here

That it's perfectly clear

They can sail above it all on what they've found

It cries for you

It's the best that you can do

Like a sound that's everywhere

I can hear it screaming through the air

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Long live Rock and Roll

You're lazy... just stay in bed

You're lazy... just stay in bed

You don't want no money

You don't want no bread

If you're drowning

You don't clutch no straw

If you're drowning

You don't clutch no straw

You don't want to live

You don't want to cry no more, no no

Lazy... you just stay in bed

Lazy... you just stay in bed

You don't want no money

You don't want no bread
