Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screamin' wild on the radio
Well, I know what I like
Know and it's right
Gotta take me through the night
The sound is comin' out
It's breakin' down the doors
Explodin' your brains
Do it again, power is a natural right
I say, hey Rock'n'Roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Right on rockin' man
You gotta hear it for a while
It bowls you over, like dreamin'
Oh, hell what a night
Keep a rockin' on night
Hey, boy can't you see the light
I say, hey Rock'n'Roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Make me rockin' mad
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock'n'roll desire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
I say, hey Rock'n'Roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Make me rockin' mad
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
I say, hey Rock'n'Roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Make me rockin' mad
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock'n'roll desire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
