You Can't Kill Rock and Roll by Ozzy Osbourne

From Wikipedia:
Diary of a Madman is the second studio album by Ozzy Osbourne. It was

recorded from the 9th of Feb to the 23 of March 1981 inclusively - the end of

winter in the UK and recording ending just into spring equinox. It was

released on November 7, 1981, and re-issued on August 22, 1995. An altered

version appeared in 2002. This was the last album with Randy Rhoads before

his death in 1982. Although bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge are

credited in the liner notes and pictured on the inner sleeve, it was bassist

Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake who performed all bass and drum parts on

the original release. They were not given credit for their contributions.

According to a 2005 interview with Daisley, even though Don Airey is credited

for having played keyboards on this record, it was in fact a musician named

Johnny Cook (who had worked with Bob Daisley in Mungo Jerry) who recorded the

keyboard parts, as Airey was on tour with Rainbow.[1] The album features

several songs with acoustic/classical guitar intros, including "You Can't

Kill Rock and Roll", "S.A.T.O.", "Tonight", and the title track. The album is

Osbourne's personal favorite of all his releases. To date, the album has sold

over 3.2 million copies worldwide.

Lyrics:
[Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads]
How many times
Can they fill me with lies
And I listen again
Twisting the truth
And they're playin' around with my head, O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Lookin' through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises
Telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Even the rhymes that they
Give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious
All for them, none for us
Meaning you too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand

'Cos they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm born to rock & roll, I'm here to stay, yeah
