Mil años tienen las ruinas
Explica un guía turístico mascando chicle
Tenían una religión, rascacieslismo
Si eras negro vivías en la cárcel   
A través de antiguos carteles supimos
Que tenían un dios, su nombre era rock'n'roll, rock'n'roll
Estoy buscando el alma de un héroe contemplando el rock'n'roll
Buscando el alma de un héroe en el rock'n'roll
