Memphis: A New Musical movie - Steal Your Rock 'N' Roll lyrics

rate me

HUEY:

I listened to advice from folks smarter than me,

And I ignored it...

I listened to hatred from folks richer than me,

And I deplored it...

I listened to music from folks darker than me,

And you know I adored it!

FELICIA:

First come's a point in everybody's life

When they gotta stand up and-

FELICIA/COMPANY:

-face a fight!

FELICIA:

Then comes a point in everybody's life-

FELICIA/COMPANY:

-When they gotta wonder if they done right...

I swallowed my fear, followed my heart right here,

And through it all one almighty thought stood clear-

Listen to the beat, listen to the beat!

FELICIA:

Play it!

COMPANY:

Play it!

FELICIA:

Obey it!

COMPANY:

Obey it!

HUEY:

Let it make-

HUEY/FELICIA/COMPANY:

HUEY:

And if ya listen to the beat,

And hear what's in your soul,

You'll never let anyone steal your rock n' roll!

Listen to the beat, listen to beat!
