Roll over Beethoven
B.B.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up this morning
With a pain in my chest
We got a chip on our shoulders
And no time to rest
Man it feels like a chore
Trying to stand tall
At the end of a long day
C'mon I know that you know
We got to rise above
All of the pain and the hurt
That's making us ill

You tell me there's a boulder
I tell you roll it over
We always do better
With our back's against the wall
There's not a better feeling
Than reaching for the ceiling
We got to get going
Before the going's got

Roll it over
Roll it over
Roll it over
We'll roll it over on three
(One, two three)
Let's go

Roll It over
Roll It over
Roll It over
We'll roll it over on three
(One, two, three)

I went to bed last night
With a bag of regrets
I got a blistering headache
And no room to breath
Man it feels like a chore
Like we're fighting a war
Just to see the light of day

C'mon I know that you know
We got to rise above
All of the pain and the hurt
That's making us ill

You tell me there's a boulder
I tell you roll it over
We always do better
With our back's against the wall
There's not a better feeling
Than reaching for the ceiling
We got to get going
Before the going's got

Roll it over
Roll it over
Roll it over
We'll roll it over on three
(One, two three)
Let's go

You know, yeah you know
That life's a hard rode to hoe
You know, yeah you know
That it's all quite
A show and it must go on

You tell me there's a boulder
I tell you roll it over
We always do better
With our back's against the wall
There's not a better feeling
Than reaching for the ceiling
We got to get going
Before the going's got

Roll it over
Roll it over
Roll it over
We'll roll it over on three




(One, two three)
Let's go
