Lyrics



We roll tonight to the guitar bite


Stand up and be counted for what you are about to receive

We are the dealers

We'll give you everything you need

Hail hail to the good times

Cos rock has got the right of way

We ain't no legends ain't no cause

We're just livin' for today

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you


We rock at dawn on the front line

Like a bolt right outta the blue

The skies alight with a guitar bite

Heads will roll and rock tonight

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you, yes we do

For those about to rock, we salute you

Salute


We're just a battery for hire with the guitar fire

Ready and aimed at you

Pick up your balls and load up your cannon

For a twenty one gun salute

For those about to rock

Fire

We salute you

For those about to rock

We salute you

For those about to rock

Fire

We salute you

Fire

We salute you


We salute you, c'mon

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

Shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot

For those who give

For those who take

Those left high

And those on the make

We salute you

We salute you

We salute you


Fire
