  • You can look to the left
    And look to the right
    But you will live in danger tonight
    When the enemy comes he will never be heard
    He'll blow your mind and not say a word
    Blinding lights, flashing colors
    Sleepless nights
    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll

    The power-mad freaks who are ruling the earth
    Will show how little they think you're worth
    With animal lust they'll devour your life
    And slice your word to bits like a knife
    One last day, burning hell fire
    You're blown away
    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll

    Know what it's like
    When you're taken for granted
    There goes your life
    It's so underhanded

    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll (roll, roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll

    (No-no, no-no, no-oh, no)
    Some heads are gonna roll (no-oh, heads are gonna roll)
    No-no (heads are gonna roll)
    Some heads are gonna roll (no-oh), heads are gonna roll
    (No) some hears are gonna roll (heads are gonna roll) Writer/s: Robert Sidney Jr. Halligan
