We Were Rock N' Roll Lyrics - The Electric Lady - Janelle Monae

I remember round' Autumn time 

I smell the breeze. I feel the sun 

Old memories come back to me 

The way we used to dance 

The way you clapped your hands 

And I remember the smell of guns 

War lived in me but love finally won 

I've been delayed I've been denied 

And then you came around and took the crown 

We were unbreakable 

We were like Rock n' Roll 

We were like a king and queen 

I want you to know 

No matter how the story's told 

We were like rock n' roll 

We were like a king and queen 

I want you to know

I remember our time alone 

Wanting to dance locked in your arms 

Your melody stays haunting me 

We were twenty one and thought we owned the sun 

And I remember our plan to run 

My rebel ways and your utter nonsense 

We'd go insane but it felt so fun 

And now your queen is home to take your throne 

We were unbreakable 

We were like Rock n' Roll 

We were like a king and queen 

I want you to know 

No matter how the story's told 

We were like rock n' roll 

We were unbreakable 

I want you to know

Now help me say it's alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

You help me say it's alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Say it's alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Say it's alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Now help me say it's alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Ooh alright Uh-huh (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Say it's alright alright, alright (It's alright! It's alright!) 

Kellindo help me sing it louder! 

So what are you gonna do? (I wanna be your rock n' roll) 

Down in Mexico (you were just my rock n' roll) 

Off in Paris, France (we taught poets how to dance) 

Back to Tokyo (remember saki in Japan) 

When Jamaica got way too cold (and your kisses warmed the sand) 

And every time I think of you (I wanna be your rock n' roll) 

So What are you gonna do? (so what are you gonna do?) 

Cause I remember you (because I remember you) 

Keep marching on we will love when the time is right
