Looking back, yeah I feel alright
Getting more than my expectations
Yeah, my future looks clear and bright
I'm living up to my reputation

Yeah, I'm satisfied
Yeah, until the day I die

I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I pledge allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll
Oh yeah

I've been a rebel for all my life
I never cared about regulations
I only went for the things I liked
And my guitar was my inspiration

Yeah, we pay a price
Yeah, I made the sacrifice

I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I know that heaven's gonna wait
I pledge allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll

Yeah, I'm satisfied
Yeah, until the day I die

I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I know that heaven's gonna wait

I gave my blood and I gave my soul
I stood my ground and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I pledge allegiance to the State
I pledge allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll
Rock & Roll
Rock & Roll
