rockers in the morning time rockers in the evening time rockers on the beat this time rockers in the room take over go! born in the middle of a vacant lot way out on the edge of town crows in a murder, nursing broken wings, set me to the ground while off in the distance, in the city lights, played all those pretty sounds lord once, in a dream i had, i’d been grown up, made me a big name uptown oh lord lord, do you hear me now? (2x) play me that rockers sound killed every bar and dancehall in town cold heart like a switchblade knife rewind the beat a minute, bring in the bass oh better run for your life bring in the echo, the rhythm, the treble. keep on stepping away from all the blood, the dust, the gunshots don’t stop let the music play oh lord lord, do you hear me now? (2x) play me that rockers sound and i can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord and i’ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord we just keep on pushing up we just keep on pushing up we just keep on pushing up we just keep on pushing forward
