[Verse 1]

We don’t need no fancy licks

Just crank the amps and let ‘em rip

Play so fast our fingers bleed

We can feel your heartbeats pound

Raise your fist if you want it loud

Get off your ass and stomp your feet

[Chorus]

Volume and speed, that's all we need

To make you jump and shout and scream

We'll shake the walls, we'll bang the doors

We’ll play all night, you’ll beg for more

Make no excuses for volume and speed

[Verse 2]

No need for solos, no need for frills

Just three chords and decibels

We’re playin’ too quiet if your ears don’t ring

Banging out a sonic boom

Surfing crowd, no elbowroom 

Let’s hear you shout, no need to sing

[Chorus]

Volume and speed, that's all we need

To make you jump and shout and scream

We'll shake the walls, we'll bang the doors

We’ll play all night, you’ll beg for more

Make no excuses for volume and speed

[Bridge]

Faces melting

Voices belting

Anthems for all to hear

Mosh pit spinning

So much winning

Time to hear you cheer

[Chorus]

Volume and speed, that's all we need

To make you jump and shout and scream

We'll shake the walls, we'll bang the doors

We’ll play all night, you’ll beg for more

Make no excuses for volume and speed

[Outro]

Playing fast, and playing loud

Pretty ballads, not allowed

It’s getting late, remember our creed

Keep on rocking, young or old

Punk rock music remembers the bold

Who needs talent when you have volume and speed

Who needs talent when you have volume and speed

Who needs talent when you have volume and speed
