You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind
You can see what you wanted to see was always there but you were blind
I know a place to be safe from the people you hate
I know a place but make haste for the hour has grown late
You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind
What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind
And I know you'll agree that it gives you just a little bit of style
But it don't come for free so give the man a smile
Chorus:
Let the dope take control of your soul
Let the rock machine roll
Let it open your eyes until your hopes soar so high
Let the rock machine roll until you're tired and cold
Until your last stitch is sold
Let the rock machine roll
You can make the love you wanted to make and know a life lived for bliss
You can take what you wanted to take
It's hidden just behind this little kiss
You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind
What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind
And I know you'll agree that it gives you just a little bit of style
But it don't come for free so give the man a smile
Chorus:
Let the dope take control of your soul
Let the rock machine roll
Let it open your eyes until your hopes soar so high
Let the rock machine roll until you're tired and cold
Until your last stitch is sold
Let the rock machine
Roll like an avalanche
Fast like a juggernaut
High like a stone tumbling down from the mountaintop
Roll like an ambulance
High like an astronaut
Don't let the pressure drop
Don't let the pleasure stop no...
High..so high...so high
You're getting number, number and a little more corrupt
You've got the number, pick up the phone and call the number up
You're going up now
Going up now to breathe
You can be what you wanted to be and leave the way you've been behind
What you wanted to see was always there but you were blind
But it don't come for free so do your best to give the man a little smile
And I know you'll agree well come on and get
High like an astronaut
Fast like a juggernaut
Roll like a stone tumblling down from a mountaintop
Fast like an ambulance
High like and astronaut
Don't let the pressure drop
Don't let the pleasure stop
No...
Let the rock machine roll
Let the rock machine roll
Let the rock machine roll
