Lyrics

I woke up on my roof

with my broth ers.

There’s a whale

in the pool

with my moth er,

and my dad

paints the house

dif f’rent col ors.

(Em7)Where would we be

if (G5)we could n’t dream?

And I know we get a lit tle (D)cra zy; and I know we get a lit tle (D)loud; and I know we’re nev er gon na (D)fake it.

We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think; so call us freaks, but that’s just (CN.C.)the way we roll.

You got moves

I’ve got shoes; let’s go danc in’.

Pop and lock, bat tle dance a gainst Han son.

If we lose, all the girls, they’ll be laugh in’.

(Em7)Where would we be

if (G5)we could n’t dream?

And I know we get a lit tle (D)cra zy; and I know we get a lit tle (D)loud; and I know we’re nev er gon na (D)fake it.

We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think; so call us freaks, but that’s just (CN.C.)the way we roll.

You got moves just the way we roll.

(Bm7)old e nough to know

we’re (Em7)nev er let ting go,

’cause that’s just the way ’Cause I know we get a lit tle cra zy; and I know we get a lit tle loud; and I know we’re nev er gon na fake it.

We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think; so call us freaks, but that’s just the way And we roll.

we get a lit tle (D)cra zy; and I know we get a lit tle (D)loud; and I know we’re nev er gon na (D)fake it.

We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think; so call us freaks, ’cause that’s just (CN.C.)the way we roll.

That’s just the way we roll.

That’s just the way we roll.

That’s just the way we roll.
