"Up Above My Head" lyrics

"Up Above My Head"

Rock 'n roll, save my soul
Rock 'n roll, save my soul

You came down hard on all the non-believers
Sat in silence when the sinners rang the bells
You came down hard on every peasant who was pleadin' for a little bit of heaven in this hell
You got the keys, you've got the combinations, got your padlocks on my property
You got your hands on my congregation but you ain't got your hooks in me

'Cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
And this road I'm on
Could lead me anywhere

You took the call from the counterculture
Could you build a barricade tonight?
Well ya, stole all your mother's tranquilizers
Now your bridges are burnin' so bright

You got the facts you got the information
Got your motor on conspiracy
You left a virus in my daughter's PlayStation
But you ain't got your hooks in me

'Cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
And this road I'm on
Could lead me anywhere

Pardon me, save my soul
Just you be ready to roll
And I really do believe...

Rock 'n roll let it go, yeah

'Cause up above my head
I hear music in the air
And this road I'm on
Could lead me anywhere

It might be rough and rocky
But I don't really care
I really do believe
I'll find heaven somewhere...

Rock 'n roll save my soul
