Here’s a punky little number. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s fun. A Member of the Public gives it life and a great guitar riff. Have a listen.
Zig is an up ‘n coming rock star
Tennis shoes
Old guitar
Writing hits since we began
(Riff)
Kat’s a red-hot bass player
A tight as heck
crowd slayer
Giving it all for the band
(Riff)
I’m a pick-pocket punk drummer
Rock ‘n’ roll
Tail gunner
Always the last kit in the van
(Riff)
A last minute stolen spliff
We open with
A hammer riff
Lights dazzle black on the stand
-Chorus-
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Sure beats working
for the man
Other bands share our tour
but we know we want it more
It’s like a Rocket Hallelujahs’
World domination plan
(Riff)
Every gig is getting bigger
G string
Finger trigger
The road gets our band sounding tight
(Riff)
The rich kids and agents come
God knows
Where from
And they all wanna piece of our fight
(Riff)
-Chorus-
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Sure beats working
for the man
Other bands share our tour
but we know we want it more
We’re building up a whole new brand
It’s the Rocket Hallelujahs’
World domination plan
–
-Instrumental break-
We get rich, live the dream
The rock n roll
Hit machine
And now we’ve got plenty of friends
But now we don’t look for free birds
No platitudes
Just real words
That’s what matters most in the end
(Riff)
-Chorus-
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Sure beats working
for the man
Other bands share our tour
but we know we want it more
We’re building up a whole new brand
It’s the Rocket Hallelujahs’
World domination plan
It’s the Rocket Hallelujahs’
World domination plan
-Outro- (optional)
Formation subjugation
Full participation
generation
Rocket Hallelujahs’
World domination. Plan

VERSION 1
He’s an up ‘n coming superstar
Tennis shoes
Old guitar
Song writing since we began
(Riff)
I’m a pick-pocket punk drummer
rock ‘n’ roll
tail gunner
always the last kit in the van
(Riff)
A last minute stolen spliff
We open with
a hammer riff
Light dazzle black on the stand
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Playing with the Rocket Hallelujahs band
No matter what they reckoned
A better life it beckoned
With the Rocket Hellelujahs world dominance plan
Rocket Hallelujahs
Rocket Hallelujahs
(Riff)
You are a tight jeans, band shirt,
always there,
a fuckin flirt
You say that you’re our number one fan
(Riff)
It’s a thousand K everyday
But somehow
you find a way
to get backstage with the band
( Riff)
Every concert getting bigger
G string
finger trigger
The road ties our garage band tight
(Riff)
The rich kids and agents come
God know
where from
And they all wanna piece of our fight
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Playing with the Rocket Hallelujahs band
No matter what they reckoned
A better life it beckoned
With the Rocket Hellelujahs world dominance plan
Rocket Hallelujahs
Rocket Hallelujahs
We got rich, live the dream
the rock n roll
drug machine
And we got plenty of friends
(Riff)
But now we don’t look for free birds
No platitudes
Just real words
Fuck all matters in the end
(Riff)
You are a tight jeans, band shirt,
Still there,
a fuckin flirt
But now you ain’t our only one fan
It’s a long queue everyday
But somehow
you find a way
You’re still backstage with the band
Living on the road with the Rocket Hallelujahs
Playing with the Rocket Hallelujahs band
No matter what they reckoned
A better life it beckoned
With the Rocket Hellelujahs world dominance plan
Rocket Hallelujahs
Rocket Hallelujahs
