Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll Songtext
von Garland Jeffreys

Ahaha ahaha ...
Pockets of hate, rockets of love
It′s never too late, the change in the color of
The color of her, the color of him
It really doesn't matter what skin you′re in
Big yellow taxi cab passed me by
Stopped on the next corner to pick up a white guy
The color of you, the color of me
You can't judge a man by looking at the marque

Hail hail rock 'n′ roll, comes from r ′n' b and soul
Don′t leave me standing in the cold
I used to fake 'I never grow old′
Hail hail rock 'n′ roll, don't leave me standing on the bleak
Don't leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat


Blame it on you, blame it on me
Now let′s the race that won′t let's get on history
Pain in my heart won′t let me be
Take it from me but don't you take away my liberty
Father of coal, mother of pearl
Never too black to blush to pick up a white girl
The color of you, the color of me
You can′t judge a man by looking at the marque

Hail hail rock 'n′ roll, comes from r 'n' b and soul
Don′t leave me standing in the cold
I used to fake ′I never grow old'
Hail hail rock ′n' roll, don′t leave me standing on the bleak
Don't leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat
