Gonna Raise Hell "Gonna Raise Hell" is a song written by Rick Nielsen and originally released on Cheap Trick's 1979 album "Dream Police". The subject of "Gonna Raise Hell" has been disputed. Some authors, such as Ira Robbins of "Trouser Press", have believed that the song was about the Jonestown Massacre. However, the song was written before that event. Allmusic critic Tom Maginnis claims that the song is about having a good time despite the apathy in the world; since we can't change the world "we might as well raise some hell." Composer Rick Nielsen claims that the song is about "religious, political and nuclear fanatics."
