The poem describes Earth as "Planet Rock" that was formed over 13 billion years from quarks and photons that created hydrogen gas clouds and later stars that birthed Earth. It states that Earth is the hippest planet with a cosmic rock and roll sound from the millions of rock bands, and would come as a shock to any aliens who crash landed here. The poem celebrates Earth as a planet that runs on and is fueled by rock and roll music.

Can't get my head round that big bang theory
Thirteen Billion years it took to make me
Quarks and photons turned out mass
Forming mega clouds of Hydrogen gas
From inside stars we saw the birth
Of our ball of rock that we call Earth
Aliens out there
You’re in for a shock
If you crash land
On Planet Rock
Planet Rock
Kicking round in space
Planet Rock
Cranking up that bass
Planet Rock
Man, It's out of control
Planet Rock
Runs on Rock & Roll
Planet Rock
Runs on Rock & Roll
Can't get my head round the size of space
Or how hot mud became the human race
Rock is heard throughout this land
Guitar riffs ring out from a million bands
We're the hippest, coolest planet around
We've got the cosmic Rock & Roll sound
Aliens out there
You’re in for one big shock
If you crash land
On Planet Rock

We're the hippest, coolest planet around
We've got that cosmic Rock & Roll sound
Guitar riffs ring out across this land
From a million kick ass Rock & Roll Bands
Planet Rock
It's out of control
Planet Rock
Runs on Rock & Roll
Planet Rock
Kicking round in space
Planet Rock
Cranking up that bass
Planet Rock
It's out of control
