“We’re Gonna Rock” is a lyrical poem about starting a rock and roll band that strives to be completely original while still being successful.
We are gonna rock
We are gonna roll
We have got the sound
And we’ve got the soul
We’ll come right out here
And sing how we feel
We are gonna rock
And we’re gonna roll!
Yeah, keepin’ it real!
We’re not gonna steal
From the pop culture
Ain’t falling victim
To failure’s vulture
We’ve got our own way
Starting a new day
Revving it up, yeah
Revolution’s the
Solution to fight
This disillusion
All we got is some
Old beat up guitars
Playing at the bars
They say if we made
A few changes here
They’d take us so far
But we just can’t change
And we just don’t care
We are who we are
Someday our albums
Will stock up the shelves
In the record stores
But we’re no fame or
Petty fortune whores
We just love to play
And be who we are
