Rundgren, Todd - Strike Lyrics






Gathering in the corner
Trying to look discrete
We been talking about this all night long
Now it's time to hit the streets
Are you ready to rumble?
Are you just gonna grumble?
You might take a tumble
But it's time to rumble
This is the reason you keep a dream alive
Spread it round the underground
The moment will soon arrive
Time to strike while the iron is hot
No one received a message
Nobody has a plan
Everybody knows when the time is right
To take a righteous stand
You spend a lifetime waiting for a sign
Alert the press and place your bets
The planets will soon align

Rundgren, Todd Strike Comments
  1. K.... V....

    Todd's metal anthem-he's the best...Todd is Godd

  2. t.... ....

    "I'll take the old Todd". GEt over it he continues to evolve. I don't love evrything he has done, but Arena rocks ! A fan since 1972. Arena is [IMHO] the best of his more recent music. be well. peace

    t.... ....

    tmdeanna It's such a cliche with everyone isn't it...I love artists that don't do what's expected of them

  3. L.... F....

    Todd was Arrested yesterday for drugs.

  4. K.... V....

    STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while the IRON is Hot!

  5. m.... ....

    Vocal processors have a way of doing that ,,

  6. m.... ....

    Word of the day ,,,,,,,, Prairie Prince is still with The Tubes and tours with Todd ,,,,, Check the facts ,, Alive and well in all aspects !!!

  7. v.... ....

    Totally kick ass song that rocks my world. What a guitar hook.

  8. w.... ....

    Hahah - this kind of music is like boxing - you must believe in 100% to make it work. Classic

  14. w.... ....

    Who's on drums?

  15. c.... ....

    Not my fave song by a long way - not mad on AC/DC either but I LOVE Bardo (I'm a Trower fiend). Still, it's lovely to see Todd and Kasim - so close after all these years. :) :) :)

  16. m.... ....

    strike while the iron is hot? The iron cooled down for this music a long time ago! Oh well, I still love his old tunes. Strike while the iron is hot?(scratching my head in confusion)

  17. S.... ....

    This is the SAME guy that did Hello Its me?!?!?!!?!?

  18. c.... ....

    Here's a thumbs up for ya. I love Todd, but this is not my cup o' tea either. There are better songs than this on Arena, although they're almost all in this style that I don't care for. One thing you can always say about Todd: the man WILL do his thing.

  19. R.... J....

    Sorry, but I'll take the old Todd Rundgren any day over this. I know...thumbs down, and I suck and all that. I just never liked AC/DC either.

    god anybody could do this---

    this fuckin stinks



    I dont care what the song is about

  23. a.... ....

    Yep! Saw him 3 weeks ago doing all a this record. I was mezmerized...Which Only Todd Fans understand ,his Musical genius. This entire record blew me away.

  24. q.... ....

    wow thats embarrasing

  25. h.... ....

    Think you've seen everything todd has done? here's a youtubevideo to watch- do a search on :

    The pursuit of happiness "I'm an adult now"
    ......owned by nicklecitydave
    You may be surprised.

  26. R.... K....

    Yep. The whole album has veiled references. I haven't bought a Todd record in about 20 years.

    That was until this was released.

  27. R.... K....

    This is his best in decades. It's called "Arena" for a reason. CAWK RAWK!

    He apes quite a few bands on the album. But, there are some heartfelt "Rundgren" songs in there too. AND, he plays everything himself (again) on the record.

    If you take Todd too seriously, you're going to hurt yourself. The man loves rock music and we should all be so lucky to hear him shred (on the album) in the way that made him famous to begin with.

  28. R.... K....

    The whole album is AMAZING!

    It f'n rocks all the way through!!!

  29. l.... ....

    todd laughing behind the shades in a grab the easy bucks parody of corporate metal swill. too funny.

  30. N.... ....

    If you have followed Todd's career at all you will know he makes a habit of confounding expectations. I have been a fan since I first bought I Saw The Light and Wizard a True Star in 73/74. I last went to see him on the Liars tour and I was so disappointed that he chose to play a Peter Gunn/Green Onions medley (for f##ks sake, with his back catalogue) it put me off ever paying to see him again. I still love him though.

  31. j.... ....

    awful-seems to have done his career the wrong way around

  32. M.... W....

    WOW ! I haven't heard such great rockin' in AGES ! Why didn't we have more rocking like this on the boring Grammy's last night? Screw the 'talking' rap & the boring, introspective, mellow and politically correct crap--give me that hard rocking REAL music any day! Thanks, Todd, for showing the younger generation what rock 'n roll is all about. ROCK ON !

  33. l.... ....

    Hard to believe Todd's 60 .Tune kind of sounds like" Public Servant" from the Second Wind album.Got to see Todd when he comes around Boston...again.

  34. p.... ....

    is todd payin homage to AC/DC?

  35. p.... ....

    prairie crushes bonham style!!

  36. e.... ....

    Todd charges on in a 20-somethin' (music)world.... There's some contemporary lyrics on this new cd (Arena): "Public idiot number one cuz I'm young dumb and I got a gun". Thanks for posting this vid.
