The power chord rings out like a hymn,
Even if we find a way in,
We’re still outsiders in this land
The mountain is high and stony,
The top can pretty lonely
When you finally make it, my friend
You say, “Forgive me, if I don’t understand,”
“Tell me, what is it, again, that you wanted?”
“What do you want?”
“What do you want?”
“What do you want?”
I want electric guitars that don’t know when to stop,
I want a singer I’m not sure whether he’ll lose it or not,
I want the drummer combustin’ from playing rhythm too hot,
Like 765 exploding Charlie Watts
I’ve been longing for the taste of sweet Virginia,
Her siren song can get in ya,
And I wonder if you hear it too?
Keep your light on, and I’ll keep the engine runnin’
If spontaneous human combustion
Is how this ends, what can we do?
You say, “Forgive me, if I don’t understand,”
“Tell me, what is it, again, that you wanted?”
“What do you want?”
“What do you want?”
“What do you want?”
I want electric guitars that don’t know when to stop,
I want a singer I’m not sure whether he’ll lose it or not,
I want the drummer combustin’ from playing rhythm too hot,
Like 765 exploding Charlie Watts
7-6-5-4-3-2,
Look out for number one ‘cause here’s looking at you, kid,
10-9-8-7-6-5,
Put the kick pedal to the floor, and let the rhythm drive
