I've heard this song numerous times but must confess I don't actually understand it. Of course I understand the words, but the "core sense" (just don't know how to express my thought better) is "out of reach" for me. Why is it called by many an "anthem"? What are the stanzas really about? You've surely heard the song. Does it make any sense to you?
When I already wrote the above, it crossed my mind that the song might be about "football/soccer". "Kicking your can all over the place" might be an act of playing football with a can by children. "Waving your banner" might be about football fans. Just a guess. Is it a football anthem?
What do yo think of the song?
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make
You some peace some day
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody betta put you back into your place
We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you
Everybody
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Alright
