I got a solid silver reason I got something you'll never buy I've spent my life playing rock'n'roll I wouldn't tell a lie Well if you want to taste the freedom Just let the music take a hold I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder How to play the game It's easy
You know we're gonna live forever You know we're never gonna die You see it's written Across the sky tonight I'm gonna tell you why Because they've covered up the exits We got a spotlight just for you Im possessed by rock'n'roll Hear me callling, stars are falling Taking me away
Stand up - shout it out I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll Stand up - shout it out Sell your soul Stand up - shout it out Let the music take a hold Stand up - shout it out Rock 'n' roll
Can't you feel we're getting stronger Getting stronger every day There ain't nothing gonna stop us Oh, there ain't no way It's like a rolling ball of thunder You know it's never gonna stop You know it's gonna drag you under See me soaring Thunders roaring Things afraid again
I got a solid silver reason I got something you'll never buy I've spent my life with rock'n'roll Oh no, would I lie But if you want to taste the freedom Just let the music take a hold I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder How to play the game It's easy
It's gonna drag you under Gonna take your heart and soul You gotta shout, shout, shout it out
I've had all I can take I've taken just too much I've made a big mistake That put me out of touch I don't think I can face Another single day Without a call from you To take this pain away
So many tears ago You turned and walked away It could've been the end But I knew better I had to tell myself There'll be another day She wants to call it quits But don't you let her
Can't you see There's a chance for you and me Think it over Don't believe In the things that may not be Think it over
Why don't you think it over
Forgetting you is out I ain't givin' in The fuss was down to you But it's not over You have to face the truth I'm still in love with you I have to make you see That it's not over
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two Lying awake intent at tuning in on you If I was young it didn't stop you coming through Oh a oh They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology and now I understand the problems you can see Oh a oh I met your children Oh a oh What did you tell them Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh a a a And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go Oh a oh You were the first one Oh a oh You were the last one Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car we can't rewind we've gone to far Oh a a a oh Oh a a a oh

All of those wild american bilinguals Who talk to you in paris of their lonely lives School days and last days out there in the midwest They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
Walking down boulevards electric eyes Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size Let them be lonely and say you don't care
Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade
Una with long hair will stand by your side And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride Chromium pets that video screens would show Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens Radio stations that fade as in dust
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust Let them be broken and say you don't care
Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Let them be broken and say you don't care Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade
