lyrics

Amplifier man, amplifier man,
He looked at you and me,
And we just could not speak,
The power in his eyes,
It took us by surprise,
He then opened his mouth,
And words of rock they poured out!

Oh! Amplifier Man can you save us!
Save us from the empty depths of nothing in our souls!
We're begging you to audiate a new way,
A way to rock the world until there's audio untold!

He blew up city hall with his terrifying call,
The army soon arrived,
With a swift flick of his wrist,
His volume did he twist,
And blew them all sky high,
His mission was assured as he prayed to his rock gods,
And told us of his aim,
He called us all to fight,
For what is pure and right,
And rock all that remains!

Oh! Amplifier Man can you save us!
Save us from the empty depths of nothing in our souls!
We're begging you to audiate a new way,
A way to rock the world until there's audio untold!

And then that friendly giant disappeared into the sky,
And we were all left wondering why he said goodbye,
He promised to bring rock to all the girls and all the boys,
And awake within them all the mighty secret rocking joys,
Now he is returning to his planet far away,
But don't you worry he'll be coming back to us someday,
So tell your friends about him, let him live through us forever,
The fabled legend mightier than ever!

Oh! Amplifier Man can you save us!
Save us from the empty depths of nothing in our souls!
We're begging you to audiate a new way,
A way to rock the world until there's audio untold!
