TOTALFAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause we're out of control
Everyday with no music, it's fucking so hard!!
We all want the heat of Rock'n Roll
Cause we are just so cold
Everyday life with music will be great
Oh Behind the blue sunset
Oh It's OK look back the way
Oh It's better to go ahead
If you go up to the rooftops,
You'll see nothing good
Because, the best precious things are hiding close to you
We all want the heat of Rock'n Roll
Cause we are just so cold
Everyday life with music will be great
You break the wall, go forward!!
When you look over the twilight,
You'll see something to be sure
The best precious things are shining face to you
We all want the beat of Rock'n Roll
Cause we're out of control
Everyday with no music, it's fucking so hard!!
We all want the heat of Rock'n Roll
Cause we are just so cold
Everyday life with music
We all want the beat of Rock'n Roll
We all want the heat of Rock'n Roll
Cause we are just so cold
Everyday life with music will be great
You break the wall, go forward!!
