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

chorus:
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 aint no easy money
but you won't hear me bitch
I spent a long time raped and funny
I got the tenyear itch
see me running all around the world
tryin' to make some time
a million miles, a million girls
a million real good times

repeat chorus

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 god damn
my life's been allright
I'm goin' crazy, out of my mind
every single night

repeat chorus
