You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind   You can see what you wanted to see was always there but you were blind   I know a place to be safe from the people you hate   I know a place but make haste for the hour has grown late      You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind   What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind   And I know you'll agree that it gives you just a little bit of style   But it don't come for free so give the man a smile      Chorus:      Let the dope take control of your soul   Let the rock machine roll   Let it open your eyes until your hopes soar so high   Let the rock machine roll until you're tired and cold   Until your last stitch is sold   Let the rock machine roll      You can make the love you wanted to make and know a life lived for bliss   You can take what you wanted to take    It's hidden just behind this little kiss      You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind   What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind   And I know you'll agree that it gives you just a little bit of style   But it don't come for free so give the man a smile      Chorus:      Let the dope take control of your soul   Let the rock machine roll   Let it open your eyes until your hopes soar so high   Let the rock machine roll until you're tired and cold   Until your last stitch is sold   Let the rock machine       Roll like an avalanche   Fast like a juggernaut   High like a stone tumbling down from the mountaintop   Roll like an ambulance   High like an astronaut   Don't let the pressure drop   Don't let the pleasure stop no...      High..so high...so high   You're getting number, number and a little more corrupt   You've got the number, pick up the phone and call the number up   You're going up now   Going up now to breathe      You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind   What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind   But it don't come for free so do your best to give the man a little smile   And I know you'll agree well come on and get   High like an astronaut   Fast like a juggernaut   Roll like a stone tumblling down from a mountaintop   Fast like an ambulance   High like and astronaut   Don't let the pressure drop   Don't let the pleasure stop   No...      Let the rock machine roll   Let the rock machine roll   Let the rock machine roll
