and on the 8th day lyrics

The sky is fallin' an' the wheels of life
Are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild
And I can feel the heat

They'll call you names an' spit in your face
But legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees an' pray
An' hold your head up high

An' on the 8th day God created rock n' roll
On the 8th day God created rock n' roll

Out of the ashes came the dawn
An' the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on
Straight to kingdom come

You sold your soul an' virginity
Ya can't rape a heart of gold
Yes, you're born to rule, it's destiny
Now it can be told

And on the 8th day God created rock n' roll
And on the 8th day God created rock n' roll

On the 8th day God created rock n' roll
On the 8th day God created rock n' roll

Rock of ages carry the news
To the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock
Let the heavens roar

And on the 8th day God created rock n' roll
On the 8th day God created rock n' roll
