Destroy your safe and happy lives before it is too late,
The battles we fought were long and hard,
Just not to be consumed by rock n' roll...
Rock n' roll
Capitalismos, favorite boy child, we must apologise,
Up in the rafters a rope is danglin',
Spots before the eyes of rock n' roll...
Rock n' roll
[We know the devil and we have shaken him by the hand,
Embraced him and thought his foul (stinking) breath was fine perfume
Just like... ]
Rock n' roll...
Rock n' roll
East Berlin can't buy a thing, there's nothing they can sell me,
Walk through the wall no pain at all
I'm born inside the belly of rock n' roll...
Rock n' roll
It's something to sell your labor for when hair sprouts out below,
I'm a microscope on that secret place where
We all want to go, it's rock n' roll.
Rock n' roll
