Shock Waves
Killer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need it, we need it, we all need to shake
I want it, you want it, whatever it takes
I'm ready to rock are you ready to roll
We all like the same kicks, I want you to know

Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves

I really hate disco, I don't like New Wave
I don't like cold music, I need Hard Rock waves
The louder the better, this music is fine
It's turning, it's burning, it strikes all of the time

Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves

Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves

We all like sensation, we all need the same
We'll give you some shock waves, it's part of our game
We're in a maximum loudness and maximum speed
It's burning, it's turning, that's all what we need

Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves

Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves
Shock waves

Some critics are crazy, some say it's a rage
I'm sure they are stupid, their opinion's insane
Sooner or later they'll see we are right
When we play our music, we'll make them go wild

Shock waves
Shock waves




Shock waves
Shock waves
