(WE WERE) MEANT TO ROCK written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)


            Ah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
            We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
Yeah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!

Solo

            Ah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
            We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
Yeah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!

RAP:
Damned is the feeling I feel
And this feelings’ the one they don’t wanna steal
And I got myself into some trouble again
And I can’t even find one of my many friends
So where do you go when the streets a dead end
And all of the bastards smile and pretend
Well here’s the place that I got to belong to
And if you wanna rock me then you gotta come through
But you can’t shake a man who’s carved in stone
And you can’t be the company of those not born alone
For the fragment of your imagination has got you a bit weary
What’s real from fiction is something you can’t see
Can you kill the dead?
Can you top the top?
Can you anger the mad?
Then how can you rock the rock?

            Ah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
            We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
Yeah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!

RAP:
Forgiveness is the freedom for the people who’re blind
For if you can’t see then you might as well be kind
Well I never had to open my eyes I have my mind
And I see the same old crap time after time
I was born in poverty born to catch my ass
But I grew up hard and it was real fast
There’s one thing I would take a stand for
There’s one thing I will be a man for
I’m not evil, I’m not good or even anything
So don’t judge me or point your finger in
I got my life and I got to live it
So don’t encourage me to kick my habit
Can you stop the rain from the storm?
Can you tell the sun stop being warm?
Can you count the bees in a swarm?
Well whenever I rock it’s the norm!
Can you burn the fire?
Can you pop the pop?
Can you freeze the ice?
Then how can you rock the rock?

            Ah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
            We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
Yeah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!

We were born to rock
We are here to rock
We were meant to rock
And we won’t stop
There’s nothing else we can do
We were meant to rock all of you
We were meant to rock and rock and roll
We got our instruments and we got soul… The soul of Rock!

(2nd Solo)

            Ah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
            We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
Yeah we were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
We were meant to rock rock rock rock rock rock rock!
 (We were meant, we were meant, We were meant to rock!) 8x
