The Busters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we'll have a party all night long
smoking drinking all night through
we act as people expect us to
here today we rock this town
dancing acting like a clown
and what you see is what you get
pretty girls are everywhere
about their guys we don't care
so you all came to see the show
there is one thing that we want to know
Are you dead or alive? - Busters rock this town tonight
Are you dead or alive? - take a chance take a dance
Are you dead or alive? - Busters rock this town tonight
Are you dead or are you alive?
we do our job by day and night
we have seen all bars and Kentucky-Fried
a thousand miles in a row
just to play tonight's show
speed tickets cause drunken nights
police controls we don't like girls
if you like us give us a kiss
tell your boys to take a piss
The Busters’ song Dead Or Alive is an upbeat party anthem that celebrates their love for music and performance. The opening lines suggest that the band themselves are the subject of the song- “here is the band this is our song”- and the rest of the lyrics detail their experiences of being in a band- the smoking and drinking, the long hours of work, and the constant touring.
The lyrics also express their disregard for societal norms and conventions as they declare that they “act as people expect us to.” The second verse reveals their habit of playing shows in different towns and experiencing the highs and lows of life on the road. The chorus, though seemingly nonsensical, is a perfectly-chosen slogan for a song that is all about living fully in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest- “Are you dead or alive? Busters rock this town tonight. Take a chance, take a dance.”
Overall, the lyrics to Dead or Alive are not particularly deep or meaningful, but they perfectly capture the spirit of a band that is all about having fun, making music, and putting on a great show for their fans.
