Scorpions - 'Raised On Rock' (Wacken Open Air, August 2012)

I was born in a hurricane
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
Ran before I walked
Reaching for the top
Out of control just like a runaway train

I never walked on the narrow path
I always wanted what I didn't have
All was not enough
Riding lady luck
Driving in the fast lane and just stepped on the gas

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Shoot me up baby make me high
And hit the jackpot in the heat of the night
Wanna kiss your lips
Wanna move your hips
See my desire in your laser-beam eyes

You shake me up got me spinning 'round
You know what's going up must come down
Tomorrow I'll be gone
A million miles from home
The only road I know leads out of town

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Growing up with the guitar men
Growing up way too fast
Follow the sound of a rock'n'roll band
This call will always last

Cause I was raised on rock

Μία δεκαετία πίσω μας γυρίζουν οι Scorpions και μας παρουσιάζουν βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοσή τους στο μουσικό κομμάτι "Raised On Rock". Πού και πότε έγιναν όλα αυτά; Στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Wacken Open Air, στις 4 Αυγούστου 2012.

Την εν λόγω μουσική σύνθεση την γνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο της Γερμανικής μπάντας "Sting in the Tail" (βλ. το εναρκτήριο τραγούδι) που κυκλοφόρησε την άνοιξη του 2010. Τον επόμενο μήνα "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα, ως single, με το "We Let It Rock... You Let It Roll" στην δεύτερη πλευρά. Την μουσική σύνθεση υπογράφουν οι Mikael Nord Andersson, Martin Hansen, ενώ τους στίχους έγραψαν οι Martin Hansen, Klaus Meine...
