| 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 |
