LYRICS:
Pre-intro/Intro:
I wanna rock!
I wanna rock!
I want to rock!
I wanna rock!
Verse 1:
Turn it down you say, well all I got to say to you
Is time and time again I say no! (No!)
No no, no no, no!
Tell me not to play, well all I got to say that
When you tell me not to play I say no! (No!)
No no, no no, no!
Pre-Chorus 1:
So if you ask me why I like the way I play
There's only one thing I can
Say to you
Chorus:
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
I want to rock! (Rock!)
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
Verse 2:
There's a feeling that I get from nothing else
And there ain't nothing in the world that makes me go! (Go!)
Go go, go go, go!
Turn the power up, I've waited for so long
So I can hear my favorite song so let's go! (Go!)
Go go, go go, go!
Pre-Chorus 2:
When it's like this I feel the music shooting through me
There's nothing else that I would
Rather do
Repeat Chorus.
Bridge:
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
I want to rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
I wanna rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
Rock! (Rock!)
Solo is played.
Chorus repeats.
Then the "Bridge" part repeats to fade out.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official TWISTED SISTER tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
