[edit] Lyrics

Buddy youre a boy make a big noise
Playin in the street gonna be a big man some day

You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kickin your can all over the place

Singin'
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We Will, we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place

We will, we will rock you
Sinin'
We will, we will rock you

Buddy youre an old man, poor man
Pleadin with your eyes
Gonna make you some peace some day

You got mud on your face
You big disgrace Somebody better put you back in your place

We will, we will rock you
Sinin'
We will, we will rock you
