Hey yeah Are you ready We be a guitar band We play across the land Shootin' out tonight Gonna keep you up alrigh You hear the guitar sound Playin' nice and loud Rock you to your knees Gonna make your destiny In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust We hear the siren scream It sounds so lean to me We love to shake it down Know what we're talkin' bout We turn the amps up high The crowd's gonna hit the sky We play it fast and loose Because this night we're gonna pull a fuse In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
