I wrote the president   But I got no reply   He claims he tells the truth   He writes it in the sky   The taxman's at the door   Though he never seems polite   They've got me cornered   Cornered in the light   We could change that overnight    So goodnight to all the world   Sleep tight all you boys and girls    I spent some time at school   Livin' by the rules   They didn't like me much   Hypocrites and fools   Old men teach young men    To surrender to the law   The straight and narrow path    Leads to the same old door   Gonne kick it in like before    So goodnight to all the world   Sleep tight all you boys and girls   Heaven walks hand in hand with hell   Rock 'n roll is alive and well    Too many heroes looking dead upon their feet   It's time to raise the roof    And shout it in the street   It's time to take command   It's time to make a stand    Yeah    Don't need a uniform    To know which side I'm on   Don't need a set of rules    To know what's right or wrong   I've been an outcast    In your eyes and to the law   The right hand takes away   The left hand asks for more   But we all know the score    So goodnight to all the world   Sleep tight all you boys and girls   Heaven walks hand in hand with hell   Rock 'n roll is alive    Is alive and well    So goodnight to all the world   Sleep tight all the boys and girls   Heaven walks hand in hand with hell   Rock 'n roll is alive    Is alive and well    Goodnight    Goodnight   Goodnight   Goodnight   Goodnight   Goodnight   Goodnight   Goodnight   Gonna have some fun tonight   Everything's alright   Goodnight    Goodnight   Goodnight   Sleep tight
