We Will Rock You
Original Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
We will we will rock you
(Sing it!)
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
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
We will we will rock you
(Alright)
The lyrics to “We Will Rock You,” by the Original Cast, are all about empowering those who are struggling to make themselves heard in society. The song follows a narrative that highlights three different stages of life – boyhood, young adulthood and old age. In the first verse, Buddy is a young boy playing in the streets, with a can he is kicking around. The chorus speaks to the idea that no matter where he is, he will always be able to “rock you.” This is a reference to his potential as a young man, and the idea that he can do anything he wants to – as long as he puts his mind to it.
The second verse is all about Buddy growing up and becoming a “hard man.” He shouts in the streets and wants to take on the world. The chorus remains the same, as the idea is that he can still succeed and make a difference. The third verse is where the song deviates a little from the typical structure, as it covers Buddy's “old man” phase. He is pleading with his eyes to make peace with the world, and the song takes a harsher tone. It suggests that he has been put in his place and better learn to stay there. The chorus follows as always, and the song ends with a reiteration of its main point – that everyone can rock you.
