Riff Raff is the fourth track on the album Powerage. A live performance of the song was recorded in the Apollo Theatre in Scotland and it is the first track of the live album If You Wan't Blood You've Got It. The live performance of Riff Raff in the Apollo Theatre was also filmed in 1978 and released on the DVD Family Jewels in 2005.
Powerage is the fifth studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It was the band's fourth studio album released internationally and the fifth to be released in Australia. It was the first AC/DC album to feature Cliff Williams on bass, and it was also the first AC/DC album not to have a title track (aside from the Australia-only High Voltage album).
Lyrics
See it on television every day
Hear it on the radio
It ain't humid but it sure is hot
Down in Mexico
Boss man tryin' to tell me
Beginnin' of the end
Sayin' it'll bend me
Too late my friend
Riff raff
It's good for a laugh
Riff raff
Laugh yourself in half
Now I'm the kind of guy that keeps his big mouth shut
It don't bother me
Somebody kickin' me when I'm up
Leaves me in misery
I never shot nobody
Don't even carry a gun
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong
I'm just havin' fun
Riff raff
It's good for a laugh
Riff raff
Laugh yourself in half
Songwriters: Ronald Belford Scott / Angus Mckinnon Young / Malcolm Mitchell Young
