Rock Of Ages Lyrics
All right
I got something to say
Yeah, it's better to burn out
Yeah, than fade away
All right
Ow Gonna start a fire
C'mon!
Rise up! gather round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke
No fire brigade, just Pyromania
I want rock'n'roll, yes I do
Long live rock'n'roll
We're gonna blow like dynamite
I don't care if it takes all night
Gonna set this town alight
I want rock'n'roll, Allright!
Long live rock'n'roll
Still rollin', keep a-rollin'
Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin', rock'n'rollin'
Just say you need it and if you need it
Say yeah!
Now listen to me
I'm Burnin', Burnin', I got the fever
I know for sure, there ain't no cure
So feel it, don't fight it, go with the flow
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road
I want rock'n'roll, You betcha
Long live rock'n'roll
Down to the ground
No way I'm the first to comment on this song? Wicked. This is a great song, with Rick Allen's randomness at the beginning, which makes it different. I think this song's meaning is that Def Leppard are gonna keep "rocking thru the ages" so to speak, not stopping, and as the times move on Rock is gonna heat up, hence the burning, dynamite, pyromania (link to their album) references. It also talks about how Rock is guna crush ne and all opposition.
i heard this song was about fear of clowns
no
no
that "Gunter Gleeban Gloten Globen" part is weird! It used to freak me out when I was younger, like 4-5 lol
@thecallofktulu1993 Looked it up...”Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen”. What does that mean? The answer is it doesn’t mean anything. Producer Mutt Lange got tired of counting the band in with “1, 2, 3, 4…,” so he started saying this.The boys liked it so they put it in the song. It means so much, it means nothing. Watch them do it in the video.

We Got the power, got the glory!
Listening to it right now, one of my favorite songs, the first time i heard it i listened to it about 20 more times in a row. I'm 16, and i'm pretty shy about what i like, especially music, because i like some random stuff, and no one i know listens to def leppard, unless their like me and haven't said anything, so i'm glad i finally get to say i love this song.
callofktulu that intro gunter gleeban gloten globen was the producers way of counting in the band in a way different to the lame smacking the drum sticks together or counting 1, 2, 3, 4. heard it on an interview oh vh1 classic. def leppard rules this songs about rock and roll and how awesome it is :D
Definately one of the best Def Leppard songs. It's my personal favorite from the album.
seriously in the beginning why does Mutt say Gunter glieben glauchen globen? i mean does it have any relavance to the song? noooo lol but yea it is a true rock anthem. i mean listen to the words. "rock of ages STILL' A' ROLLIN'" thats saying ROCK 'N' ROLL IS HERE TO STAY AND THERE IS NOT A DAM THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!
The funniest part is the nonsense at the very beginning "gluben gleeben globben globin"
the intro 'Gunter glieben glauchen globen' is also the intro to Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by the Offspring. it's always confused me, but i like it :)
this song does rock. one of the first Def Leppard songs i heard, off my mum's greatest hits cd and really got me into them
