Turbonegro What Is Rock?! Lyrics

What is rock?
Rock is the area between the b____ and the a___ 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 Burmingham during Maggie Thatchers 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 machines guns to the schools
What is rock?
No, im not talking about Canadian producer and 5th Metallica Bob Rock you fool
What is rock?
Old ACDC, Cleveland, Ohio, well basically its harder and heaver and slightly more blues based than pop
What is rock?
Historians keep nagging about Funhouse but me? I think Kill City is where it's at

After decades of Indie and House
6 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 god d___ed rock 'n roll
So skål

But it aint for free, we gotta group they're are our employees
They need to be catered, got their own nice bus
they got worthy lives thanks to us

Endless wait at the airport to pick up my bags
feelin' so tired, i could lay down and die
Runes walkin on stage and plays the wrong chord
roadies laughin so hard they're wiping their eyes
Many of them skilled musicians, multiracial and tatooed
but we're the main attraction g______ it those guys aint got a clue

After the show sometime we fraternize, together in the dark black 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 never right
coz we're doin' 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 that g______ed 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 doin here? Whats important in life?
My generation? My wife?
What is rock? I don't care

Where's the cash, where's the cash
The money, the money, the money money money
Where's the cash, where's the cash
The money, the money, the money money money
Where's the cash, where's the cash
The money, the money, the money money money
Where's the cash, where's the cash
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
The money, the money, the money money money
