Shock...
Shock...

Aftershock
Shake it up now
Aftershock

There was a trial
Like a fire
It lit the world that night
Ah, justice, truth, and the American way

I said liberty, treason
Loss of reason
Aw yeah
Say a prayer 'cause the world still burns
Yeah

Alright
The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system
Shake it up now
The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system

The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system

Shake it up now, alright
Shake it up now
Shake it up
Shake it up now
Shake it up now
Shake it up

On the stand of the man who gave up his rights that night
Oh yeah
Battered, bloody, bruised and [?]
The gang of four still feed, that's right
It's hot in the city tonight
If we ride tonight
I'm gonna make you learn

The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system
Shake it up now
The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system
Shake it up now
The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system
Shake it up now
The aftershock, the aftershock, the aftershock to the system
Shake it up now

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
