lyrics
There's a place I know
Not far from here
Where we can go
To make a racket on some beat up gear
It's nowhere alone
And the only fear
Is one day all this will
dis-dis-disappear
So come on let's go
To rock city Baishizhou
(Shake ya BBQ shake ya BBQ
Shake shake shake ya BBQ!)
Come out the subway station
And power up, let it rock
Tear it up
Turn it up
Tear it up
Turn it up up yeah!
It's OK
There's nobody lookin
Unless you want them to
Turning heads, new underground king
All the stars are down here
Slipping on the rainy tiled streets
Let the police think this time they've got us beat
And come on let's go
To rock city Baishizhou
(Shake ya BBQ shake ya BBQ
Shake shake shake ya BBQ!)
Come out the subway station
And power up, let it rock
Tear it up
Turn it up
Tear it up
Turn it up up yeah!
It's no Hollywood crush
Nor a holy relic
This is the real live fix
A rockin dive in an urban village
And the neighbours can't see it
But we share the same fears
That one day all this will
dis-dis-disappear
So come on let's go
To rock city Baishizhou
(Shake ya BBQ shake ya BBQ
Shake shake shake ya BBQ!)
Come out the subway station
And power up, let it rock
Tear it up
Turn it up
Tear it up
Turn it up up yeah!
Oh say, can you see
It's Baishizhou for me
And we all say 加油!
Rock city Baishizhou
