How many times can they fill me with lies
And I listen, again.
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around
With my head, O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand.
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today.
(Chorus)
And they don't really know
Even what they're talkin' about,
And I can't imagine
What their empty heads can achieve!
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more,
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law!
Won't ever change, may think it's strange,
You can't kill rock'n'roll - it's here to stay!
(/chorus)
Looking through eyes of time mirrors reflecting
Their stories untrue,
Promises, promises, telling me
All of my glories overdue.
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again.
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight
Losing to you.
(chorus)
Even the rhymes that they give me in times
Of confession ain't true.
Outcome is obvious: all for them -
None for us meaning you too.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand.
Fear of rejection I need their protection,
I'm making a stand.
(chorus)
