Anthem
Rock and Roll Soldiers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Garfunkel just killed Simon
My mouth just keeps on climbin'
Up, up, up, up, up, and I'm in
Ok, our music's violent
Explodes like dynamite and
Light bulbs but no ideas
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
That's right we're comin' in
Don't lose, we always win
We'll tell it like it is
everybody is our bitch
If you don't agree with this
Take a second and try our chips
Roasted to perfection
Flavorful, not flavorless
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers
I'm a mother fuckin' Rock ‘N' Roll Soldier
The lyrics to "Anthem" by Rock and Roll Soldiers are a celebration of their rock and roll lifestyle. The song is about breaking free from the mundane and expressing yourself through music. The opening lines, “Turn off the sound of silence, Garfunkel just killed Simon, My mouth just keeps on climbin’, Up, up, up, up, up, and I’m in,” refers to them rejecting the quiet and hum-drum life, and instead, embracing the loud and raucous world of rock and roll.
The lyrics go on to assert that their music is explosive and powerful, lacking in subtlety but full of vigor. The lines, “Ok, our music’s violent, Explodes like dynamite and, Light bulbs but no ideas, Now you gonna see it,” are a tongue-in-cheek comment on the criticism that rock and roll music receives - that it is loud and undisciplined. However, the band finds joy in their uncompromising approach to their music, and their brashness manifests itself in other ways as well. They refer to themselves as “cold hands slider down your shirt,” and “the last of the Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers.” They are the bad guys, but that is what makes them great.
The chorus of the song, “We’re the mother fuckin’ Rock ‘N' Roll Soldiers,” is an anthem in itself, a rallying cry for all those who see themselves as part of the rock and roll world. The lyrics are delivered with punk rock style and energy that makes them irresistible.

I first heard them on some indie radio playlist back in the mid-2000s. Wish they still made music. :\
