Rock & Roll Is Alive! Songtext
von Prince

Rock ′n' roll′s alive!

Rock is alive (rock 'n' roll is alive!)

Rock ′n′ roll's alive and lives in Minneapolis
Rock ′n' roll′s alive and lives in Minneapolis

From all over the world the people came
Even the President flies in to worship a thing called fame
Red, white, blue boy, girls, tonight everyone's the same
Some people say it′s dyin', but we don't wanna play that game

Rock ′n′ roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis (sing!)
Rock ′n' roll is alive (and it lives in Minneapolis)
Rock ′n' roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis (sing!)
Rock 'n' roll is alive (and it lives in Minneapolis)

Sure as the drive around Lake of the Isles is cool I know (oh)
Rock ′n′ roll will never die like the Minnehaha flow (oh)
Sure as the land of a thousand lakes is sometimes made of snow
There alway be another king to die butt-naked on the floor (oh)


Rock 'n′ roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis (sing!)
Rock ′n' roll is alive (and it lives in Minneapolis, oh)

Rock, rock!
(Very impressive)
Rock, rock!

Sing!
(Rock ′n' roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis)
Sing damn it!

Rock, rock!
Rock ′n′ roll's alive!
(Yeah!)

Rock ′n' roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock 'n′ roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock 'n′ roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock 'n′ roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis

Rock ′n' roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock 'n' roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock ′n' roll′s alive and it lives in Minneapolis
Rock 'n′ roll's alive and it lives in Minneapolis
