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
