I reach for the top, and I'm never gonna stop
I want to be somebody, don't wanna end up like you
I ain't gonna work from 9 to 5, I wanna feel that I'm alive
I want my life to be, a great big party

You can have your boring dreams, I think I know just what it means
To sit and watch TV, until your eyes pop out
You can pretend that you're alive, when you struggle and you stribe
But if somebody dropped a bomb, you wouldn't notice.

We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to you who said we'll never break through
We shall show the world

When I'm sittin' on the top, I'm gonna take one day off
I'm gonna sing this sweet refrain, just to tell you once again
That when you work from 9 to 5, you won't ever feel alive
And it's better to fail, then never try at all

We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to you who said we'll never break through
We shall show the world

(Instruments.)

We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to you who said we'll never break through
We shall show the world
