She’s my little rock ‘n’ roll, oh  
Oh, she’s my little rock ‘n’ roll, buddy  
The heat’s raiding, the track’s fading  
Joint’s rocking, could be anytime at all  
But the bitch keeps bitching, snitcher keeps snitching  
Dropping names and telephone numbers and all

Crimson beads, cut out your needs  
Leave you feeling more in the pink  
Seven long nights at a pre-announced site  
A head on my shoulders and I feel all right

Alter the courses, stand near my flames  
Questionable sources, only dropping names  
Dropping names

With a red guitar, on fire

There’s a silver band just marching up and down  
And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight  
I want to see the bright lights tonight

And it turned into a ballroom blitz  
And the girl in the corner said, “Boy, I want to warn you  
It’ll turn into a ballroom blitz”

“Forward!” he cried  
From the rear  
And the front rank died  
And the general sat  
And the lines on the map  
Moved from side to side

You’re soldiers of God, you must understand  
The fate of your country is in your young hands  
May God give you strength

I’m a soldier of freedom in the army of the men  
We are the chosen, we’re the partisan, alright  
Well the cause it is noble and the cause it is just

Gonna ride across the river, deep and wide  
Ride across the river to the other side
