Janelle Monae - We Were Rock & Roll lyrics

[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Bridge:] 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! [Chant:] 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) [Vamp (x2):] Keep marching on we will love when the time is right
