Why Rock?

This is a song by The Aquabats

Song Info[]

Back when heavy metal kitsch was funny, we wrote this song in about 10 minutes. The Ultra Kyu being well-versed in rock, wrote the music from a metal bumper plate. The lyrics contain many metal clichés in them such as, "quest for fire," "the dark one," "clutch the skull," "seal the fate," etc, etc. If you've never heard of Leather Pyrate, check them out sometime. They really wail, man. This song contains backwards masking messages that can be deciphered on vinyl and at the end of the song, the keyboard creates a frequency that makes you want to play computer blackjack.[1]

Lyrics[]

Run!

Hunt!

Kill!

Man in his base nature

Searching for food

A quest for fire

He sharpens his spear

The time has passed

And man has changed

Why am I here?

These mortal chains

Of animal strains

Causing this man to fear

Why do we rock?

ROCK!

Why do we roll?

ROLL!

Why do we rock?

WHY NOT?!?

Why do we rock?

ROCK!
