Yeaaah Down in the ghetto, out on mean street Or east side Manhatten, everybody your gonna meet Need some direction, a place to aim... The further your out of time, nobody's taking The blame, you gotta be ROCKIN, you gotta be ROCKIN Ohhh rocking and rolling... all day and all night... When I need direction, it's ultimately rock and roll... So it's the pleasure, and a little pain Oh but it keeps me protecting, From everyone's going insane, I got my axe, I gotta grind, It's the best way I know A beef that bobbles the mind I gotta be rocking, I gotta be rocking... Yeah rocking and rolling When I need direction It's ultimately rock and roll...
