Did you say…
Ruckus?
[Pause]
Or did you say…
Rock us?
[Verse 1]
Something’s shaking in the room
Feel it coming, hear the boom
Quiet never lasted long
Somebody turned it into song
[Refrain]
Did you say…
Ruckus?
(Rock us!)
Oh, we’ll play
(Rock us!)
Ruckus us!
[Chorus]
Ruckus!
(Ruckus!)
Rock us!
(Rock us!)
Shake the ground
Ruckus sound!
Raise a little dust
(Robust)
If the world gets much too quiet
(Make a little noise with us!)
[Verse 2]
All the people saying, “Hey!
There’s another way!”
Turn the old idea around
Then make a new sound
A little disruption
Can open up a door
A little revolution
Can make you ask for more
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Raucous Blues-Rock Lead With Wah-Wah Guitar, Hammond Organ, Bass, Drums and Hand Claps]
[Bridge]
Movement is what is meant
The willing
… don’t sit still.
(Ruckus us!)
[Rap Vocal Break]
Ruckus!
(Ruckus us!)
Get the rhythm
In the room
Ruckus!
(Rock us!)
Make a little
Boom-boom-boom!
Shake the habit
(Shake it!)
Break the mold
(Break it!)
Make the story
Something bold
Not just noise
(Not just poise!)
Not just fuss
(Not just puss!)
Make a meaningful
Ruckus!

Did you say…
Ruckus?
(Rock us!)
Oh, we’ll play
(Rock us!)
Ruckus!
[Final Chorus]
Ruckus!
(Ruckus!)
Rock us!
(Rock us!)
Shake the ground
And wake us!
Ruckus!
(Ruckus!)
Let the good noise rise
A little ruckus
To open up your eyes!
