I Still Believe

Hear ye hear ye friends and Romans countrymen
Hear ye hear ye punks and skins and journeymen
Hear ye hear ye my sisters and my brethren
The time is coming near.

Come ye come ye to soulless corporate circus tops
Come ye come ye to toilet circuit touring snobs
Come ye come ye to bedrooms bars and bunker squats
The sound is ringing clear.

Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
And who'd have thought that after all it was rock 'n' roll.

Hear ye hear ye now anybody could take this stage
Hear ye hear ye and make miracles for minimum wage
Hear ye hear ye these folk songs for the modern age
Will hold us in their arms.

Right here right now Elvis brings his children home
Right here right now you never have to feel alone
Right here right now teenage kicks and gramophones
We hold them in our hearts.

Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
And who'd have thought that after all it was rock 'n' roll.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints
Yeah in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound
That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry.

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone
Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won.

So just remember folks we not just saving lives we're saving souls
And we're having fun.

And I still believe.

Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.

Now who'd have thought that after all
Something so simple something so small
Who'd have thought that after all it's rock 'n' roll?
