What is rock!?
Rock is the area between the balls
and the anus of a dog or of a man.

What is rock!?
Rock is the possibility of choking on your own vomit
in the back of a rapists 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 truckin', why oh why.
Spreading like cancer, my oh my.

What is rock!?
Backwards messages to boys and girls
to bring machine guns to their schools.

What is rock!?
No i'm not talking about canadian producer
and "fifth Metallica" Bob Rock, you fool.

What is rock!?
Old AC/DC? Cleveland, Ohio?
Basically it's harder, heavier,
and slightly more blues-based than pop.

What is rock!?
Historians keep nagging about Funhouse,
but me, I think Kill City's 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.
Enforced the toll on rock 'n' roll.
We saved rock 'n' roll .
With our bare hands.
We saved that goddamned rock 'n' roll.
So SK�L!

But it ain't for free.
We got a crew, they're our employees.
They need to be catered, they got their own nice bus.
They've got worthy lives thanks to us.
Endless 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.
The roadies are laughing so hard they're wiping their eyes.
Many of them skilled musicians.
Multi-racial and tattooed.
But we're the main attraction, goddammit!
Those guys ain't got a clue.

After the show, sometimes we fraternize.
Together in the dark back lounge.
Pat each other shoulders, try to groove on a feeling.
Digging the old school sounds.
We ride and ride into the night.
And the temperatures getting hot.
But somehow the chemistry's never right.
Because we're doing blow.
And they smoke pot.

We saved rock 'n' roll.
All on our own.
Enforced the toll on rock 'n' roll.
We saved rock 'n' roll.
With our bare hands.
We saved the 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 is the cash? Where is the cash?
The money, the money, the money money money.
