"Rock God" is a song written by Katy Perry, Victoria Horn and Priese Board, who also produced the song. It was likely originally intended for Perry's unreleased album Fingerprints. Lyrically, the song is about choosing rock music over religion which may connect to Perry when she started to compose pop music rather than the gospel music as she did for Katy Hudson.

Yo, yo
This is Katy Perry
And Priese Board
Beets and Produce productions
What

Preacher man walked into the bar and he said
He said, "Hey girl, can't you walk a mile straight?"
Father, I'm torn and I'm selling my soul to the
Rhythm, the beat and the bass

'Cause I can't confess my rock and roll ways (ooh)
'Cause I'm so possessed with the music, the music he plays (he plays, oh)

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
Oh no, I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

Preacher man took my hand and looked in my eyes
He said, "Hey girl, can't you live your life right?"
Father, things aren't always so black and white
Don't cast the first stone 'cause I'm not alone

And it's not like I'm hurtin' anyone (ooh)
But I can't confess my rock, my rock and roll way-ay-ay-ays

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
Oh no, I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god
I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
Oh no, I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

No, I wouldn't change a thing even if I could
I chose a path and I'm not looking back
And I'm sorry if I left the angels crying over me

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
Oh no, I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

Preacher man, preacher man (oh, oh, oh)
Preacher man, preacher man (oh, oh, oh)
Preacher man, preacher man (oh, oh, oh)
Preacher man, preacher man
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, gone (oh, oh, oh)
Gone, gone, gone
Yeah, I'm gone, gone (oh, oh, oh)
Gone (oh no, oh)

"Rock God" is a song written by Katy Perry, Victoria Horn and Priese Board. Selena Gomez & the Scene then recorded the song for their sophomore album, A Year Without Rain. The band's edition of the song was produced by Rock Mafia.

Rock Mafia

Preacher man walked into the club, and he said
He said, "Hey girl, can't you walk and not stray?"
Father, I'm torn and I'm selling my soul to the
Rhythm, the beat and the bass
'Cause I can't confess my rock and roll ways (Ooh)
'Cause I'm so possessed with the music
The music he plays

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
(Oh no) I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

Preacher man took my hand and looked in my eyes
He said, "Hey girl, can't you live your life right?"
Father, things aren't always so black and white
Don't cast the first stone 'cause I'm not alone
And it's not like I'm hurting anyone (Ooh)
But I can't confess my rock, my rock and roll ways

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
(Oh no) I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god
I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
(Oh no) I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

No, I wouldn't change a thing even if I could
'Cause I chose a path and I'm not looking back
And I'm sorry if I left the angels crying over me

I can't stop my feet from dancing to the sound of his drum
(Oh no) I fell in love with my rock god
I can't keep my hips from swaying to his sweet melody
You see, I fell in love with my rock, rock god

Preacher man, preacher man
Preacher man, preacher man
(Forgive me, for I don't know what I do)
Preacher man, preacher man
(Preacher man, why don't you understand?)
Preacher man, preacher man
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
(Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever ever never, felt this way?)
Yeah, I'm gone, gone, gone with my rock, rock god
