When your mom and dad are ten feet tall
You got a superhero poster on your wall
Don't know the world's full of greed and lust
You just slide into third and ride the school bus
Wrestling is real, summer goes fast
The dollar bill feels like a wad of cash
There's war and drugs and guns on hips
But all you're thinking about's how far you can skip
Rock, rock, rock
Then your wheels on your back turn to gasoline
Get your first taste of love and nicotine
Your heart gets broke, your folks find you lying
You lose a few bites and learn you ain't a fighter
You know what's wrong and you know what's right
But you wanna be cool on a Friday night
Somebody puts a bottle in front of your face
For the first time you're stuck between a hard place
And rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Yeah
When you're paying bills and you're working hard
And you're with your friends at the local bar
Hook up with someone, tell them how you feel
Just like that is something real
You meet their mom and you meet their dad
Start having thoughts you never had
Like that's the kinda thing worth waking up for
Next thing you know you're saving up for a rock
Yeah, a rock
A rock
A rock
One day your breath costs life itself
But gets hung on heaven's shelf
They say a few words like it's a damn shame
Then they lay you down and they write your name on a rock
A rock
A rock
A rock
A rock
Yeah we're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a rock
They say we're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a rock
Yeah we're all just living life on a rock
We're all just living life on a lock, yeah.
