Built for Speed
You know the rules, you all know the game
Try to do what's right
And I swear, I can't complain
If I die tonight
But I don't think it's 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
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
That's right
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 goddamn
My life's been alright
I'm going 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
I was born to rock 'n' roll
Everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed
Try to do what's right
And I swear, I can't complain
If I die tonight
But I don't think it's 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
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
That's right
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 goddamn
My life's been alright
I'm going 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
I was born to rock 'n' roll
Everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed
