I know that I will never be politically correct
|
And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette
|
As far as I'm concerned the world could still be flat
|
And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back!
|
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back!
|
|
Who am I? Why am I here?
|
Forget the questions! Someone gimme another beer!
|
What's the meaning of life? What's the meaning of it all?
|
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl!
|
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl!
|
|
So sign up all you raw recruits
|
Throw away those designer suits
|
You got your weapons cocked and your targets in your sight
|
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
|
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
|
You're all enlisted in the armies of the night
|
|
And I ain't in it for the power,
|
and I ain't in it for my health
|
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all,
|
and I sure ain't in it for the wealth
|
|
But I'm in it 'till it's over and I just can't stop
|
If you wanna get it done, you gotta do it yourself,
|
and I like my music like I like my life
|
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than - everything else!
|
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than - everything else!
|
|
(wasted youth - wasted youth, ah)
|
(wasted youth - wasted youth, ah)
|
|
They got a file on me and it's a mile long and they say that they got all of the proof,
|
that I'm just another case of arrested development and just another wasted youth
|
They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline, they say I gotta face the truth,
|
that I'm just another case of arrested development and just another wasted youth
|
|
They say I'm wild and I'm reckless
|
I should be acting my age
|
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world,
|
and they say I'm at a difficult stage
|
|
But it seems to me to the contrary, of all the crap they're going to put on the page,
|
that a wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
|
A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
|
A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
|
A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
|
A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
|
|
(louder, louder, louder, louder, louder!)
|
|
If you want my views of hist'ry, then there's something you should know;
|
the three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Moe!
|
If you don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past
|
And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
|
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back!
|
|
So sign up all you raw recruits
|
Throw away those two-bit suits
|
You got your weapons cocked and your targets in your sight
|
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
|
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
|
You're all inducted in the armies of the night
|
|
And I ain't in it for the power,
|
and I ain't in it for my health
|
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all,
|
and I sure ain't in it for the wealth
|
|
But I'm in it 'till it's over and I just can't stop
|
If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself,
|
and I like my music like I like my life
|
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than everything else!
|
Everything louder than - everything else!
