Lepers & the dead

I saw the lepers & the dead
they shouted: ‘Lord, we feel so strong’
one & all they jumped out of their beds
and kept rockin' & rollin' all night long
it doesn't matter if you're a phony
the show keeps goin' on

the barbers, for the crew cut of the soul
were singin' & shoutin' that all is wrong
I saw them shake to pay their toll
and they were rockin' & rollin' all night long
never mind if you're a phony
the show keeps goin' on

I saw the greedy & the fat
lap muddy water with their tongue
they all got stoned out of their heads
and went rockin' & rollin' all night long
it doesn't matter if you're a phony
the show keeps goin' on
