Angus Young took the highway to the devils floor
And got Axl and Slash knocking on heaven's door

And they all had their hands up, the sight of the most high
 [bad word] on get your hands up! Get your hands up!

(2X's)
And they all had their hands up, hoping for a miracle
And they all had their hands up, praying for an answer
