Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll

Garland Jeffreys

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 cap 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
