Are You Ready
The Allergies feat. Andy Cooper & Marietta Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sick of this stress and monotony
'Cause I think I've had quite enough
Tonight I'm going out, I'm'a light it up
And see The Allergies when they freak the speakers
Beats get released 'til they heat the ether
Having clubs rippin', magic in rhythm
Laughin' and spinnin', glad to be livin'
Ignites a mood like lighter fluid
And you just can't do it sitting at home
With your feet on the couch staring into the phone
Get up! and slip into your boogie shoes
And come see the group with the good reviews
And nice long queues, packing 'em in
The gang's back together again
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Ten muscle-bound men
couldn't hold me back
For goodness sake man I can't wait
'Cause it's been far too long
I'm breaking down everything
in my path
To the front of the line and I'm gonna get mine
as soon as the lights go on
I've got my seatbelt on, my tank is full
Revving up the motor I 'm ready to roll
And I don't think I've ever been this gung-ho
Red light, yellow light, green light, go!
It's like shaking up a big soda
I'm set to spring, call me King Cobra
Striking mics with a venomous flow
And I got Money and Rackabeat letting 'em know
So get the wax and mix and match
With vinyl, you can hear clicks and cracks
From tracks that explode like Roman Candles
The band knows how to leave a show in shambles
Stop riding a runaway train
Enjoy the life you're trying to maintain
Party people are you up to the task
Right now I'm inclined to ask
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Ten muscle-bound men
couldn't hold me back
For goodness sake man I can't wait
'Cause it's been far too long
I'm breaking down everything
in my path
To the front of the line and I'm gonna get mine
as soon as the lights go on
Let's do this on more time
Are you ready?
Are you ready to roll?
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Are you ready?
You know I'm ready to roll
Ten muscle-bound men
couldn't hold me back
For goodness sake man I can't wait
'Cause it's been far too long
I'm breaking down everything
in my path
To the front of the line and I'm gonna get mine
as soon as the lights go on
Ten muscle-bound men
couldn't hold me back
Ain't nothin' but the dancefloor calling
I'm breaking down everything
in my path
Ain't nothin' but the dancefloor calling
Hey

Does anybody feel like me?
I'm tired of the stress and monotony, does anyone else feel the same way?
'Cause I think I've had quite enough
I've had enough of this, it's time to go out
Tonight I'm going out, I'm'a light it up
I'm going to party like there's no tomorrow
Beats get released 'til they heat the ether
The Allergies are going to play so hard their music will fill the air
Having clubs rippin', magic in rhythm
There's something magical about a packed club where everyone is dancing together
Laughin' and spinnin', glad to be livin'
There's nothing better than feeling alive and dancing with friends
Live music combined with movement
Live music and dancing create a special kind of energy
Ignites a mood like lighter fluid
This energy spreads like wildfire and ignites the mood
And you just can't do it sitting at home
You can't feel this energy from your couch
With your feet on the couch staring into the phone
You have to get up and move
Get up! and slip into your boogie shoes
Get up and get ready to dance
And come see the group with the good reviews
Come see the Allergies, who are known for their great shows
And nice long queues, packing 'em in
Their shows are always packed and the lines are long
The gang's back together again
The band is playing together again, and everyone is ready to dance
Ten muscle-bound men couldn't hold me back
I'm so excited, nothing can stop me from getting to the dance floor
For goodness sake man I can't wait
I can't wait to start dancing, it's been too long
I'm breaking down everything in my path
I'm pushing through the crowd to get to the front of the stage
To the front of the line and I'm gonna get mine as soon as the lights go on
I'm going to be front and center when the music starts
I've got my seatbelt on, my tank is full
I'm ready to party like a race car driver with a full tank of gas
Revving up the motor I'm ready to roll
I'm ready to get started and dance all night
And I don't think I've ever been this gung-ho
I'm more excited than I've ever been before
Red light, yellow light, green light, go!
It's time to start, let's go!
Stop riding a runaway train
Don't keep letting life pass you by without enjoying it
Enjoy the life you're trying to maintain
Make the most of your life and enjoy it to the fullest
Party people are you up to the task
Are you ready to party and dance with us?
Ain't nothin' but the dancefloor calling
The dance floor is calling and we're ready to answer
Hey!
Let's dance!
