Give Me Hard Rock

Turn it up, I came to move

Find the sound that makes me prove

Every pulse beneath my feet

Needs a hotter kind of heat

Country rolls like a porch swing slow

Pretty words, but I gotta go

Too much dust in the easy refrain

I need a spark in the muscle and brain

Walk puts polish on a hollow drive

Looks alive, but it won't arrive

I wanna riff with a dangerous grin

Something that

where the nerves begin

Open the room, let the red lights climb

Stack every voice till it locks in time

I've been searching through a thousand doors

Now I hear that engine on the floor

Give me hard rock, make the whole room shake

A beat with teeth and a floor that breaks

Hey, hey, let the low end roll

rock rhythm, take control

No slow parade, no sugar-coated spark

Put a live wire straight through the dark

When the crowd says go

That's the kind of dance I know

Hip-hop's got a place, I respect that sound

this ain't where I lay down

Different life, different shoes, different scene

I need six strings cuttin' sharp and clean

Pascal wears a century-old coat

Beautiful lines, but they barely float

Jazz had style, but the clock moved on

I need a backbeat that keeps me drawn

Raise up the charms, let the ceiling bend

Bring every heartbeat around the bend

I've been waiting for a sign to start

Now the rhythm's kicking through my heart

Give me hard rock, make the whole room shake

A beat with teeth and a floor that breaks

Hey, hey, let the low end roll

Hard rock rhythm, take control

No slow parade, no sugar coated spark

Put a live wire straight through the dark

When the crowd says go

That's the kind of dance I know

Move, move, move till the room runs hot

Hit that step like you mean what you got

Turn, turn, turn when the snare cuts through

Find that sound that was waiting for you

Electronic can work when the hands stay true

When the pulse has weight and the wires break through

keys with a storm underneath

Not a plastic grin with a borrowed bead on

Glide that picture with a metal born roar

Let the sense kick open the door

When the machine and the six string meet

That's the reason to move your feet

Now the walls lean back, now the night gets wide

Stack that chorus like a rising tide

Every doubt gets thrown outside

Feel the whole place come alive

hard rock, make the whole room shake

A beat with teeth and a floor that breaks

Hey, hey, let the low end roll

Hard rock rhythm, take control

No slow parade, hey, no sugar-coated spark

Put a live wire straight through the dark

Hey, hey, when the crowd says go

That's the kinda dance I know

need a label, I don't need a rule

I need a sound that can pull me through

From the first down beat to the final flame

If it moves my bones, then it earns its name

Lock it in, push it hard

Feel the floor, raise the guard

One more time, make it loud

Hard rock dancin' with the whole damn crowd

Give me hard rock, make the whole room shake

A beat with teeth and a floor that breaks

Hey, hey, let the low end roll

Hard rock rhythm, take control

No slow parade, no sugar coated spot

Put a live wire straight through the dark

Hey, hey, when the crowd says go

That's the kind of dance I know

Give me hard rock, let the heavy wheels spin

A little bit of metal with a savage grin

Hey, hey, every heartbeat knows

When the guitar strikes, the whole place goes

No mellow lane, no borrowed disguise

Just the fire that reaches the eyes

Keep the pressure high

Dance till the last chord splits the sky

Hard rock, hard rock, let it roll

Hard rock, hard rock, take control

Beat of it drives the heart and shakes the floor

That's the sound I came here for
