Forests are burnin’ outta control Nuclear disaster’s on a roll Children are dying all over the world And a nasty disease took away my girl The president says he knows best Yeah let’s have another nuclear test Chemical weapons in Iraq Yeah let’s plunge the world into the dark. (An’-)
Chorus: Hey hey, never mind that shit Everybody wants you to rock the kids Record company needs more hits Everybody wants you to rock the kids Under a tropical sun The AIDS final countdown has begun War and disease are doin’ the rounds And ethnic cleansing will be coming a’ town Weather patterns are going crazy There’s insane stuff all over my TV An’ while the environment goes to hell You jus’ wanna ring your bell
(Chorus) Everyone seems to say This is the world today And all the kids just want you to Rock away their blues... (Solo) I’m rich An’ I’m alright And beggars on the street Wish me goodnight Global warming’s all the rage But nature can turn another page Earthquakes and asteroids are tryin’ to get me An’ a tidal wave from a poisoned sea...
(Chorus)
Chorus: Play some heavy guitar licks Everybody wants you to rock the kids Never mind this world is fallin’ a’ bits Everybody wants you to rock the kids Rock the kids Rock the kids Rock the kids Yeah!
