[Verse 1]
When the bomber flew it was '79
Make no mistake, it was their time
Living fast and free, the only way to be
The word was on the street, they were the boys to beat
[Chorus]
And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
[Verse 2]
They took no sleep, the tour rolled on
To Hammersmith their battle song
Everything over the top, giving it all 'til you drop
Adrenaline, leather and sweat, no one would ever forget
[Chorus]
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
[Verse 3]
Dealing the ace, releasing the power
The 80s were here, this was the hour
Decibels crushing your brain, the closer you get to the pain
Night after night on the road, falling asleep with the sun
[Bridge: Lemmy Kilmister]
We are Motörhead
And we play rock and roll!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Bass like thunder, drums of steel
Guitars of fury with lightning feel
Living fast and free, the only way to be
The word was on the street, they were the boys to beat
[Chorus]
And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
