[Intro]
F#
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Nevertheless am I dressed for the occasion
N.C.
It's number 32 now here's the situation
N.C.
If the beat moves your feet then don't change the station
N.C.
Now pack your bags cause we're leaving on a permanent vacation
N.C.
Well, I'm a disaster
N.C.
A microphone master
N.C.
Put on your tape and rock your ghetto blaster
N.C.
It's not about the money, cars, hotels, or resorts
BN.C.
About sweating all the bitches in the biker shorts
F#mN.C. A B
I'm Dave Brown Sound and you see me running late
N.C.
Cause I'm always making time to make your girlie feel great
F#N.C.
And I'm Bizzy D from way down town
I'm known to rock a mic like a Bking was a crown
F#N.C.
When I'm on top I'm gonna borrow that bootie
BN.C.
Hustling deals like Mickey Macoote
F#N.C. A B
When I wake up I like a pound of bacon
N.C.
Start off the day with my arteries shaking
[Chorus]
F#Rock! AIt's what we're all aF#bout
F#It's what we live for
AC'mon, shout it outF#
Rock! AIt's what we're all aF#bout

[Verse 2]
F#N.C.
Well I bring down the house in every city we play
BN.C.
Just from pickin' up the mic' in a usual way
F#N.C. A B
We rock guitars with a bass that's funny
N.C.
We could even tear it up at a grade-school party
F#N.C. A B
Well I can keep the beat, but I can't break dance
N.C.
It's hard to look cool in crazy pants
F#N.C. A B
But I wear 'em anyway even when they look whack
N.C.
It's my personal way to bring the '80s back
F#Gave up the life of serving burger and friesA B
N.C.
High cholesterol, getting grease in my eyes
N.C.
I was drinking underage, I belong on stage
Hello, rock 'n' roll, goodbyeB, minimum wage
F#N.C. A B
I'm teaching you a lesson in mic' control
N.C.
Making rhymes with my letters in my cereal bowl
F#Lucky number seven every dice I rollA B
N.C. D
Sum 41 to the power as the poon patrol
[Chorus]
F#Rock! AIt's what we're all aF#bout
F#It's what we live for
AC'mon, shout it outF#
Rock! AIt's what we're all aF#bout

N.C. A E
Well let's avoid confusion by making one thing clear
N.C.
The rock we're bringin' is gonna instill fear
And the F#power we control should be reveredA B
N.C.
We sold our soul to Satan two times last year

We rock the oven when we're stone cold baking
And we F#get outta hand and bust up the roomA B
