ACDC Vs. Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin'
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
We will, we will rock you (sing it out)
We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes, gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you, everybody
We will, we will rock you, hmm
We will, we will rock you
Alright
The lyrics to ACDC Vs. Queen's iconic song, "We Will Rock You," are all about empowerment and building confidence. The opening lines, "Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise, playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday," are about taking charge of your life and making some noise in the world. Even if you're just a young boy playing in the street, you can make a difference and become someone important someday. The next section, "You got mud on your face, you big disgrace, kicking your can all over the place, singin'," is about how life can be tough, and you might face setbacks and challenges along the way. But if you keep pushing forward, you can overcome anything.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to talking about a young man who is ready to take on the world. The lines "You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place," are about the energy and confidence this person has. They're not afraid to get their hands dirty and fight for what they believe in. The chorus repeats, encouraging this young man (and everyone listening) to keep pushing forward and putting their everything into what they do.
The final verse is about an old man who has been beaten down by life. The lines "pleading with your eyes, gonna get you some peace someday, you got mud on your face, big disgrace, somebody better put you back into your place, do it!" are about how even if you've faced challenges and suffered setbacks, it's never too late to reclaim your power and take charge of your life. You might have mud on your face, but that doesn't mean you're defeated. The song ends with one last burst of energy, encouraging everyone to keep on rocking.
