Raised On Rock/Scorpions!

Man this song is kicking my azz! The best Scorpions song I've heard in 20+ years. Catchy, riffy, fun song!

I was born in a hurricane
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
Ran before I walked
Reaching for the top
Out of control just like a runaway train

I never walked on the narrow path
I always wanted what I didn't have
All was not enough
Riding lady luck
Driving in the fast lane and just stepped on the gas

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Shoot me up baby make me high
And hit the jackpot in the heat of the night
Wanna kiss your lips
Wanna move your hips
See my desire in your laser-beam eyes

You shake me up got me spinning around
You know what's going up must come down
Tomorrow I'll be gone
A million miles from home
The only road I know leads out of town

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Growing up with the guitar men
Growing up way too fast
Follow the sound of a rock and roll band
This call will always last

Cause I was raised on rock

It's a great song.

But it totally rips off "Rock You Like A Hurricane," though. Not shocking considering the music was written by industry songwriters aiming for a hit. And that voicebox is just awkward.

Personally, I think "The Good Die Young" is the best on the album. That song is fantastic! One of the best they've ever recorded, in my opinion.

Either way the cds rawks!

Great song, comes closest to their early '80s sound, IMO, while the rest sounds like late '80s & early '90s.

This new Scorpions sounds decent to my ears. I'll get it eventually. Not gonna go fork over the new release money for it though.

I think I'll get the new Ratt instead.

New Scorps album is killer! So impressed, it is almost a shame they are retiring, when you put something out this good why stop, but age and wanting to stop at the top only makes sense. What a band!

Get used to it, this is one of many we will soon have to accept will be leaving the scene we had to grow up on! Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.

I'll have to put this on the wants list.

I got it but I haven't listened to it yet.....
