Lyrics

Live to Rock (Rock to Live)

[Verse 1]

Run out of breath and I feel I'm moving too slow

Backwards and forwards, I don't know which way I should go

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a solution to make all your feelings alright

The music's here waiting so come on and get it tonight

[Chorus]

Live to rock (Live to rock), rock to live (Rock to live)

It's all you got when you're down on the skids

(Live to rock) Rock to live (Rock to live)

One way or another, survive until the end

[Verse 2]

Over and under, I'm feeling the thunder take hold

Feeling it flow through my veins, rock will never get old

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a solution to make all your feelings alright

The music's here waiting so come on and get it tonight

[Chorus]

Live to rock (Live to rock), rock to live (Rock to live)

It's all you got when you're down on the skids

(Live to rock) Rock to live (Rock to live)

One way or another, survive until the end

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Live to rock (Live to rock), rock to live (Rock to live)

It's all you got when you're down on the skids, yeah

(Live to rock) Rock to live (Rock to live)

One way or another, survive until the end

[Outro]

(Live to rock, rock to live) 'til the end

'til the end (Live to rock, rock to live) 'til the end

(Live to rock) 'til the end (Rock to live)

(Live to rock) 'til the end (Rock to live) 'til the end
