[Verse 1]
Any lover, any poet, any rocker, any joker, any fool who would court the muse
Got to know, to know happy
We too got to know the blues
Late on our bills, but we’re paying our dues
_ but unbowed
All hail rock ’n’ roll
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t you dare me to tear you apart
And don’t you dare me to break your heart
And don’t you dare me to light you a flame
’Til you can offer a spark
[Chorus]
Cause for crying out loud
In a big room with a tiny crowd
The gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
Yeah, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
[Verse 2]
Weeknights in the theater
Discount tickets still available
Tonight the guest list is the whole crowd
Viva rock ’n’ roll, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t you dare me to tear you apart
And don’t you dare me to break your heart
And don’t you dare me to light you a flame
’Til you can offer a spark
[Chorus]
Cause for crying out loud
In a big room with a tiny crowd
Still, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
Yes, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
[Bridge]
I, I will, I will make you a believer
Every lover, every poet, every rocker, every joker, every fool…
[Chorus]
Is crying out loud
Yeah, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
We’re crying out loud
Yeah, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
We’re crying out loud
Yes, the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
Got us a big room with a tiny crowd
Now the gods of rock ’n’ roll are proud
