Shock to the System Songtext
von Billy Idol

Woah, yeah
It was a night, L.A., burning bright
Oh, what a night
Say yeah, come on
It makes my world stand still
Ahh, riot, rape, race, and revolution, ah yeah
Here come the fire, and my world burns still
I say yeah

Well, you can rock this land, baby
Yowww

Like a shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
Say yeah, ain't it irie


It was a night
Hell of a night, L.A., it really was
Oh, what a riot
I said yeah, come on
It makes my life feel real
Fear police and civil corruption, oh yeah
Is there a man who would be king?
And the world stood still
Ah yeah, loud

You can rock this land, baby
Yeahhh

Like a shock to the system
It feel good, well, alright
Like a shock to the system
I said yeah, come on, baby
Shock to the system
Feel good, well alright
Like a shock, shock to the system
I say yeah, I say yeah, I say yeah
Come on, baby

Well, you can rock this land, baby
Like a shock, shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah
Ain't it irie


Shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah
I say yeah
I say yeah, come on, baby

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Loud, I gotta
Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Yeah, I gotta
Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Yeah, I gotta
Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
