Built For Speed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know the rules, you all know the game
Try and do what's right
And I swear I can´t complain
If I die tonight
But I don´t think its in the stars
For me to go that way
I´ll be here for a long, long time babe
I´m here to stay
I was born to rock´n´roll, everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed.
Bet your life it ain´t no easy money
But you won´t hear me bitch
Spent a long time wrecked and funny
I´ve got the ten year itch
See me running all around the world
Trying to make some time
A million miles, a million girls
A million real good times
I was born to rock´n´roll, everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed.
Don´t you listen to a single word
Against rock´n´roll
The new religion, the electric church
The only way to go
I don´t give a good goddam
My lifes been alright
I´m gonna crazy out of my mind
Every single night.
I was born to rock´n´roll, everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed.
