Start The Show
Jet · Shaka Rock [2009]
No stopping what you can't stop, they tell me
The push comes to shove, yeah
You don't need a watch to know what time it is
Don't need a plan, we can fall into it
Just, ah, like a domino, here we go
We can roll, rock and soul
You know what time it is to start the show
Build a fire, watch it grow
You know what time it is to start the show
Driving on the interstate, licking off a silver plate
Swinging like a heavy weight, I am free
Now we can roll with the show
Yeah, you live fast, you die alone, now break the mold
We don't need a plan, we can fall into it
Just, ah, like a domino, here we go
We can roll, rock and soul
You know what time it is to start the show
Build a fire, watch it grow
One, two, three, now baby start the show
We can roll, rock and soul
You know what time it is to start the show
Ladies and gentlemen, we're ready to go
You know what time it is, start the show

While the group faced shifting musical tides during this period, their commitment to a classic rock sound remained unwavering. This recording serves as a testament to their enduring influence within the rock genre, offering a straightforward yet compelling listening experience that highlights their instrumental prowess and energetic stage presence.
