Lyrics

[Intro]

We roll tonight to the guitar bite

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Stand up and be counted

For what you are about to receive

We are the dealers

We'll give you everything you need

[Verse 2]

Hail-hail to the good times

'Cause rock has got the right of way

We ain't no legend, ain't no cause

We're just living for today

[Chorus]

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

[Verse 3]

We rock at dawn, on the front line

Like a bolt right out of the blue

The sky's alight with the guitar bite

Heads will roll and rock, tonight

[Chorus]

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you, yes we do

For those about to rock, we salute you

[Verse 4]

We're just a battery for hire with the guitar fire

Ready and aimed at you

Pick up your balls and load up your cannon

For the twenty-one gun salute

[Bridge]

For those about to rock, fire (We salute you)

Oh, for those about to rock (We salute you)

Oh, those about to rock, fire (We salute you)

Ow, fire

We salute you

We salute you

Come on, oh

[Chorus]

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

For those about to rock, we salute you

[Outro]

Shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot

[Outro]

Ah, for those who give, and those who take

Doing your time, and those on the rank

We salute you, yeah

We salute you

We salute you

We salute you

[Outro]

Fire
