Once upon a time
A boy and a girl
Made a solemn vow
To rock the world
But one fateful night
Beneath the silvery moon
He sold his soul
Yes, he changed his tune
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I'll make it a point
To rock harder than you
We used to play till sunrise
On two guitars
Now I play in the shadows
While you mingle with the stars
You follow the fashions
You change with the trends
You go out and be seen
With your political friends
I'll rock forever
I'm sticking to my guns
While you're counting your gold
In the California sun
But you know in your heart
You're living a lie
A keeper of the flame
Let the flame die
A boy and a girl
Made a solemn vow
To rock the world
But one fateful night
Beneath the silvery moon
He sold his soul
Yes, he changed his tune
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I'll make it a point
To rock harder than you
We used to play till sunrise
On two guitars
Now I play in the shadows
While you mingle with the stars
You follow the fashions
You change with the trends
You go out and be seen
With your political friends
I'll rock forever
I'm sticking to my guns
While you're counting your gold
In the California sun
But you know in your heart
You're living a lie
A keeper of the flame
Let the flame die
