[Turbonegro - What Is Rock!? lyrics]
What is rock?
Rock is the area between the balls and the
Anus of a dog or of man what is rock?
Rock is the possibility of
Choking on your own
Vomit in the back of a rapist's van
What is rock? Denim clad Satanists
Making love in the sewers of
Birmingham during Maggie Thatcher's prime
What is rock?
Rock is meeting the grim reaper in a sports
Arena stampede at the tender age of nine
We keep on trucking, why oh why?
Spreading like cancer, my oh my
What is rock?
Backwards messages to boys and girls
To bring machine guns to the schools
What is rock?
No, I'm not talking about Canadian producer
Of 5th Metallica Bob Rock, you fool
What is rock? Oh AC
DC, Cleveland, Ohio, well
Basically it's harder and
Heavier and slightly
More blues based than pop what is rock?
Historians keep nagging about Fun House
But me? I think Kill City is where it's at
After decades of indie and house
Six cats from Oslo killed the mouse
We saved rock 'n' roll all on our own
And forced the toll on rock 'n' roll
We saved rock 'n' roll with our bare hands
We saved that goddamned rock 'n' roll
So skål!
But it ain't for free
We got a crew they're our employees
They need to be catered
Got their own nice bus
They got worthy lives, thanks to us
And this wait at the airport
To pick up my bags
Feeling so tired, I could lay down and die
Rune's walking on stage and
Plays the wrong chord
Roadies laughing so hard
They're wiping their eyes
Many of them skilled musicians
Multiracial and tattooed
But we're the main attraction, goddamn it
Those guys ain't got a clue
After the show, sometimes we fraternize
Together in the dark back lounge
Pat each others' shoulders, try to
Groove on a feeling
Digging the old school sounds
We ride and ride into the night
And the temperature's getting hot
But somehow the chemistry's ain't that right
'Cause we're doing blow and they smoke pot!
We saved rock 'n' roll all on our own
And forced the toll on rock 'n' roll
We saved rock 'n' roll with our bare hands
We saved that goddamned rock 'n' roll
Where do we go from here? What can we do?
We can go left, we can go right
Or you can go down on me
What are we doing here?
What's important in life?
My generation? My wife? Wow
What is rock? I don't care!
Where's the cash? Where's the cash?
The money, the money, the money, money, money
The money, the money, the money, money, money
Rock is the area between the balls and the
Anus of a dog or of man what is rock?
Rock is the possibility of
Choking on your own
Vomit in the back of a rapist's van
What is rock? Denim clad Satanists
Making love in the sewers of
Birmingham during Maggie Thatcher's prime
What is rock?
Rock is meeting the grim reaper in a sports
Arena stampede at the tender age of nine
