NILS LOFGREN
"Rock Or Not"

Angels and devils in a crooked line
Pounding quadessos, firing up all they got
It's time to pick a side
Man the world's gettin' fried
Don't tell me brothers, sisters now
Show me what you got

You gonna rock or not
Gonna put you on the spot
Dirty waters, dirty souls
Give me acid and a broom

Rock or not
Pick up your sword, start swingin'
Whatever you do, hit it hard and true
You gonna rock or not

Takes a village of Mercy and an iron heart
Dance away the greed
Go help someone in need

Sacred women, blessed animals
Trashed by ugly men
Chop their swagger tails off
Shout together: "Never again!"

You gonna rock or not
Come on give me all you got
Drag the bullies out the door
We won't take it anymore

Rock or not
Raise your sword, start swingin'
Face what you do, hit it hard and true
Rock or not, rock or not

Should all be equal, baby
All safe and free (Rock or not)
Don't sell that fear and war
All your wicked crap to her or me (Rock or not)

Got Malala, Parks, DeLavallade
Heroes in our midst (Rock or not)
May they inspire, light the fire
Peace and love must persist

You gonna rock or not
Let me put you on the spot
Dirty waters, dirty souls
Give me acid and a broom (Rock or not)

Raise your sword, start swingin'
Face all you do
Play hard, play true
(Rock or not)
(Rock or not)
(Rock or not)

Got to resist
Peace and love must persist
(Rock or not)
(Rock or not)
