Forests are burnin’ outta control
Nuclear disaster’s on a roll
Children are dying all over the world
And a nasty disease took away my girl
The president says he knows best
Yeah let’s have another nuclear test
Chemical weapons in Iraq
Yeah let’s plunge the world into the dark. (An’-)

Chorus:
Hey hey, never mind that shit
Everybody wants you to rock the kids
Record company needs more hits
Everybody wants you to rock the kids
Under a tropical sun
The AIDS final countdown has begun
War and disease are doin’ the rounds
And ethnic cleansing will be coming a’ town
Weather patterns are going crazy
There’s insane stuff all over my TV
An’ while the environment goes to hell
You jus’ wanna ring your bell

(Chorus)
Everyone seems to say
This is the world today
And all the kids just want you to
Rock away their blues...
(Solo)
I’m rich
An’ I’m alright
And beggars on the street
Wish me goodnight
Global warming’s all the rage
But nature can turn another page
Earthquakes and asteroids are tryin’ to get me
An’ a tidal wave from a poisoned sea...
(Chorus)

Chorus:
Play some heavy guitar licks
Everybody wants you to rock the kids
Never mind this world is fallin’ a’ bits
Everybody wants you to rock the kids
Rock the kids
Rock the kids
Rock the kids
Yeah!
