My first post for the year and I want to set it off with a bang.
I want to be all inspirational and uplifting and motiovational and ish… I think for the start of the year, this works for me…
Rock Out – Anis Mojgani
You’ve been given a direct order to rock the fuck out!
Rock out, like you were just given the last Rock n’ Roll record on Earth, and the minutes are counting down to flames
Rock out, like you just won both Showcase showdowns
Rock out, like the streets are empty except for you, your bicycle and your headphones
Rock out, like your lips were just placed, onto a break dancing muse, with legs that go all the way up
Rock out, like Publisher’s Clearing House is ringing your front door
Rock out, like you never have to open up a textbook again
Rock out, like you get PAID to disturb the peace!
Rock out, like music is all that you’ve got
Rock out, like you were standing on a roof top and the city’s as loud and glowing as a river flowing below you
Rock out, the plane is going down, and there are 120 people on board and 121 parachutes
Rock out, like the streets and the books are all on fire and the flames can only be extinguished by….doing the electric slide
Rock out, like it’s Saturday afternooon, and Monday was a national holiday
Rock out, like somebody’s got a barrel, pointed to your temple, saying ‘rock out like your life depended on it fool’, because it does
Rock out, like your eyes are fading, but you’ve still got your ears, but you don’t for how long… So rock out like, 5 O’clock time, meant Pop-and-Lock time
Rock out, like you’ve got pants full of tokens, and nothing to do but everything
Rock out, like you are the International ski-ball champion of the entire universe
Rock out, like you just escaped an evil orphanage to join a Russian circus
Rock out, like your hero has fallen, and you are spinning your limbs, until they burst into a flaming pyre of remembrance
Rock out, like you are enslaved in the south, and dancing is all that you have, to know who you are
Rock out, like your dead grandfather just came back, to take a drive with you in your brand new car
Rock out, like the table was full… Like the neighbours are away
Like the walls wont fall, but dammet you’re gonna die, trying to make them!
Rock out, like the stereo’s volume knob only has the figure eight of infinity on it instead of merely numbers
Rock out, like it’s raining outside and you’ve got a girl to run through it with
Rock out, like you were playing football in the mud and your washing machine aint broken
Rock out, like you threw your window open on your honeymoon coz you want the whole world to know what love is
Rock out, like you just got a book published
Rock out, like you returned to your high school reunion to find that everyone, even the women, are all ugly and balding, except for the former prom queen, who has just been divorced by her impotent husband and who only has eyes for…YOU.
Rock out, like a shadow of a man passes behind you, drops you to your knees, you’re buckling in a cold sweat, metal is pushed to your forehead, the trigger is pulled and the gun jams
Rock out, like you got a empty appointment book and a full tank of gas
Rock out, like Jimmy has returned, carrying brand new guitar strings
Rock out, like the mangoes are in season, like the record player wont skip,
Like this was the last weekend, like these were the last words
Like you don’t ever want to forget how…
