We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this-
(Let’s go)
(Let’s go) A J R!
(212)
The rain outside is pouring
I shred the last of the photographs
C-C-Curlin’ up on the sofá
P-P-Puts the Saturday night to rest
I’ve been searchin’ for something
To make me change up my mind
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (we will!)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
(Let’s go)
I’ve been searchin’ for something
Something bigger than you and me
I-I-I know you were
Faking, mistaking, breaking, taking
Thank God it’s a Saturday
No, it can’t be denied
The beat is getting high
My, I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out (woo!)
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (we will)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
(Rock, rock this city)
(Rock, rock this city)
(212)
Subway rumble
A rolling timpani
Blaring cellos
A perfect symphony
Hmm, yeah
Oh, yeah
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
I know the time has come
We’re marchin’ to a different drum
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
I know the time has come
We’re movin’ up with AJR!
We gotta move while we’re still young
We’re dancin’ ’til we drop
Cuz you c-c-can’t disagree with the NYC
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
The song starts when I drop by
I know we’re not the crazy kind of guys
You just need a [?] to twist and shout
It’s our time
Come on out
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (we will)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (hey)
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city (we will)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock this city
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock this city
