AC/DS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a right out of controller
I'm a wheeler
I'm a dealer
I'm a wicked woman stealer
I'm a bruiser
I'm a cruiser
I'm a rockin' rollin' man

I've got slicked back hair
Skin tight jeans
Cadillac car
And a teenage dream

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man

Got little red socks
Blue suede shoes
V8 car
And tattoos

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man
A rockin' rollin' man

Wanna drive honey, c'mon
I'll spin you around, yeah





Yeah I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I'm a rocker look at me roll

Overall Meaning

AC/DC's "Rocker" is a classic rock song that embodies the essence of rock and roll in the mid-70s. The lyrics are straightforward and represent everything that rockers of the era wanted to be- wild, free, and in control. The song screams out that the author is a rebel who doesn't care about conforming to society's norms.


"I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm a right-out-of-controller" is the opening line of the song and sets the tone of what's to come. The author proclaims that he is in control of his life and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. He is a "wheeler, a dealer, a wicked woman stealer." This lyric can be interpreted as the author being a man who chases women and doesn't take relationships seriously. Furthermore, the "bruiser" and "cruiser" lines suggest that he is a man who can handle himself in a fight and walks confidently through life.


The second half of the song describes the author's fashion sense- slicked back hair, skin-tight jeans, tattoos, and a V8 car. These are typical representations of the time when rockers viewed themselves as rebellious and had a taste for fast cars and adrenaline-filled lifestyles. The little red socks and blue suede shoes suggest that the author is not afraid to mix things up and create his own unique style.
