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
