Born to Rock 'n' Roll Songtext
von The Byrds

Some people born in old Kentucky
Think they′re living in a tunnel mine in coal
Other people born not quite so lucky
Getting everything by selling out their soul

Believe that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and to keep them from the cold
Sometimes you get to do the thing you′re meant to
And I know that I was born to rock 'n' roll

Born to rock ′n′ roll
To satisfy your soul
I'm gonna rock ′n' roll
To satisfy your soul, yes I am
I′m gonna rock 'n′ roll
To satisfy your soul, ooh
I'm gonna rock 'n′ roll
To satisfy your soul -oul -oul


Always wanted to be the fireman
Just to steer the hook and ladder from behind
Then I thought I′d be a great inventor
But I found it might be too hard on my mind

Oh, I knew that
I know that everybody's born for something
Baby, that didn′t feel
Just to feed them and to keep them
It's all in the cards you hold
Yes, I said I believe in magic
And I believe that I was born to rock ′n' roll

I′m gonna rock 'n' roll
To satisfy your soul, yeah
I′m gonna rock ′n' roll
To satisfy your soul
I′m gonna rock 'n′ roll, ooh
To satisfy your soul, ooh
I'm gonna rock ′n' roll
To satisfy your soul, oh


I'm gonna rock ′n′ roll
To satisfy your soul, yeah
I'm gonna rock ′n' roll
I′m gonna satisfy your soul
I'm gonna satisfy your soul
I was born to satisfy
