we were rock & roll
Singer:janelle monae
i remember round' autumn time
i smell the breeze. i feel the sun
old memories come back to me
the way you clapped your hands
and i remember the smell of guns
war lived in me but love finally won
i've been delayed i've been denied
and then you came around and took the crown
we were like rock n' roll
we were like a king and queen
no matter how the story's told
we were like rock n' roll
we were like a king and queen
i remember our time alone
wanting to dance locked in your arms
your melody stays haunting me
we were twenty one and thought we owned the sun
and i remember our plan to run
my rebel ways and your utter nonsense
we'd go insane but it felt so fun
and now your queen is home to take your throne
we were like rock n' roll
we were like a king and queen
no matter how the story's told
we were like rock n' roll
now help me say it's alright
you help me say it's alright
now help me say it's alright
kellindo help me sing it louder!
so what are you gonna do?
when jamaica got way too cold
and every time i think of you
so what are you gonna do?
keep marching on we will love when the time is right
