Lookin' back yeah, I feel alright   Gettin' more than my expectations   Yeah, my future looks clear and bright   I'm livin' up to my reputation      Yeah, I'm satisfied   Yeah, until the day I die      I gave my blood and I gave my soul   I stood my ground and I took control   The legend's growin' as the story's told   I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock 'n Roll, oh yeah      I've been a rebel for all my life   I never cared about regulations   I only went for the things I liked   And my guitar was my inspiration      Yeah, we pay a price   Yeah, I made the sacrifice      I gave my blood and I gave my soul   I stood my ground and I took control   The legend's growin' as the story's told   I know that Heaven's gonna wait   I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock 'n Roll      Yeah, I'm satisfied   Yeah, until the day I die      I gave my blood and I gave my soul   I stood my ground and I took control   The legend's growin' as the story's told   I know that Heaven's gonna wait      I gave my blood and I gave my soul   I stood my ground and I took control   The legend's growin' as the story's told   I pledge allegiance to the state   I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock 'n Roll   Rock 'n Roll, Rock 'n Roll
