direct order

you've been given a direct order to rock the fuck out.
rock out like you were just given the last rock and roll record on earth and the minutes are counting down to flames.
rock out like you just won both showcase showdowns
rock out like the streets are empty except for you, your bicycle, and your headphones.
rock out like your lips were just placed on a breakdancing muse with legs that go all the way up
rock out like Publisher's Clearing House is ringing at your front door
rock out like you'll never have to open up a textbook again
rock out like you get paid to disturb the peace
rock out like music is all that you got
rock out like you are standing on a rooftop in a city as loud and glowing as the river flowing beneath you
rock out like your plane is going down and there are one hundred twenty people on board and one hundred twenty one parachutes
rock out like the streets and the books are on fire and the flames can only be extinguished by doing the electric slide
rock out like it's Sunday afternoon and Monday is a national holiday
rock out like someone has a barrel pointed to your temple saying "rock out like your life depended on it, fool, because it does"
rock out like your eyes are fading, but you still got your ears, but you don't know for how long so
rock out like it's 5 o'clock time? make it pop n'lock time
rock out like you got pants full of tokens and nothing to do but everything
rock out like you are the international skee-ball champion of the entire universe
rock out like you just escaped an evil orphanage to join a Russian circus
rock out like your hero has fallen and you're spinning your limbs until they burst into a burning pyre of remembrance
rock out like you are enslaved in the south and dancing is all that you have to know who you are
rock out like your dead grandfather just came back to take a ride with you in your brand new car
rock out like the table was full
rock out like the neighbors are away
rock out like the walls won't fall but damnit, you're going to die trying to make them
rock out like the stereo's volume knob only has the figure-eight of infinity on it instead of merely numbers
rock out like its raining outside and you got a girl to run through it with
rock out like you're playing football, football in the mud, and your washing machine is not broken
rock out like you threw your window open on your honeymoon because you want the whole world to know what love is
rock out like you just got a book published
rock out like you just went to your highschool reunion and found that everyone, even the women, are overwight and bald except the former homecoming queen who has just been divorced by her impotent husband and only has eyes for... you.
rock out like you got a date with Heidi Klum
rock out like the shadow of a man passes behind you, drops you to your knees buckling in a sweat, cold metal pushed to your forehead, the trigger is pulled and the gun jams.
rock out like you got an empty appointment book and a full tank of gas
rock out like Jimi has returned, carrying brand new guitar strings
rock out like the mangoes are in season
rock out like the record player won't skip
rock out like this was the last weekend, like these were the last words, like you don't ever want to forget how.
