Ticking, ticking, ticking
Always counting right down
The clock strikes ten
You still wear your old gown
Come on, come on, come on
Get the hell up and stay
Alert and strong
Try to find your right way

People say it's wrong
People say it's bad
Others say that God's a little mad
Secretly he'd wear the black, you know
If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better protect my soul
'Cause heaven seems to be

The place I wanna be
If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better reset my goal
Do everything I can
To be a rocking man
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Leather suits you better
Got to let your hair grow
Take the black and enjoy the new show
Welcome to an army spreading over the world
Wild and proud brothers
Haven't you heard?

People say it's wrong
People say it's bad
Others say that God's a little mad
Secretly he'd wear the black, you know

If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better protect my soul
'Cause heaven seems to be
The place I wanna be
If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better reset my goal
Do everything I can
To be a rocking man
Yeah, yeah, yeah

If God loves rock 'n' roll
Even in heaven you need a bass guitar
A guitar and a second guitar
Here we go

If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better protect my soul
'Cause heaven seems to be
The place I wanna be
If God loves rock 'n' roll
I'd better reset my goal
Do everything I can
To be a rocking man

If God loves rock 'n' roll
If God loves rock 'n' roll
If God loves rock 'n' roll
