Are you ready to rock n roll

Are you ready to fill my soul



All those years I try not to remember

Singin Stevie tunes in the schoolyard

The nuns would whip their sticks and

Try to make me remember

That a whie boy shouldn’t have to sing so hard



When I sang those songs the penguins said

Keep down the noise

And you’re never gonna make it as a choir boy



Thank god for failure

And the things I couldn’t do

So much of my life

It’s all I ever knew

Thank you for failure

And the mighty music

For making the dreams that chose me

Come true



Schoolin’s done now it’s time to play it serious

Forget about dreams forget about being a dude

Study business real-estate and warfare history

And just how to smile when you are being screwed

Then I bombed the test and I did the best that I can

So I finally cut my mullet and I joined a band



chorus



Are you ready to rock and roll

Are you ready to fill my soul



Thank you failure

For all those things I could not do

So much of my life

It’s all I ever knew

Thank you failure for the mighty music

Change is in my heart

You know the dreams that chose me

You made the dreams that chose me

Come true



All you did to mold this kid

You filled my heart you blew my lid

Oh you make me feel so good

Ya gimme good home cookin and gravy too

Ya gotta hop the doggie

Taught me to hop the doggie

Everything’s okay now
