Lyrics
If the World Won't Rock
(Purdum/Braly/Mishler)
A few rich guys control supply
Of everything we need
But we don't have to keep these ties
There's no use feeding the greed
Lend the store on the corner a hand
Forget that big name brand
Hang the corporations out to dry
Buy your stuff from the small guy
If the world won't rock
If the world won't roll
If it feels wrong, stop!
There's no point going down that road
Global warming, now they say
Is reality
Fossil fuels aren't the way
To keep us healthy and free
Make a difference, even small:
Drive a hybrid to the mall
Or let big oil companies recoil:
Run your car on cooking oil
If the world won't rock
If the world won't roll
If it feels wrong, stop!
There's no point going down that road
Make a promise to yourself
For everyone and you
To create a better place
In whatever you do
Nobody is perfect, everyone is flawed
There's still so much that we can do
Just don't let the schemers play God
And make all the decisions for you
If the world won't rock
If the world won't roll
If it feels wrong, stop!
There's no point going down that road
