brani:

You’ve made up your mind

Guys like me you find

Run too fast

You can’t catch the wind

 

The way I look so wild

Restless like a child

Gives me such hard times

Don’t understand

 

You can’t let yourself be tied down

Take what you’ve found

 

There’s no-one like me

That can make you free

Know you need

What you’re lookin’ for

 

Sometimes I’m so cruel

Sometimes I’m not true

But I’m there

Whenever you want

 

Don’t wait for the morning to come

Take what you’ve found

 

You – tonight – take what I’m givin’ you

Now – let’s do it – we’re in the right kind of

Mood – tonight – we gotta live now – right now

 

Don’t wait for the morning to come

Take what you’ve found

 

Everybody knows it’s true

The kind a things I do

No complaints

‘Cause I’m no fool

 

If this ain’t allowed

You can join the crowd

You’re too slow

You can’t catch the wind.

Last night – I made a break in my life

It just won’t be the same

Left my friends – as cutting as a sharp knife

Had enough of this game

Never again

 

Don’t know if it’s right

Just gotta try

Take a walk in the night

Can’t live a lie

 

Spent my life waiting

Chance never came

Now I don’t give a damn

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

I’ve still got the time

It took so long to find out

What I should do

 

In my car – speeding down the highway

With a rock’n’roll station

Feeling so low

 

Spent all my life

Living with fear

But I ain’t going back

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

Still in time

 

I can give

The time I have a better sense of action

I can live

Without the fear of gettin’ no reaction

I’m gonna start

Tryin’ to learn to walk like all the heroes

I can

 

I’m gonna play my cards right

I’ve still got the time

It took so long to find out

What I should do

 

All at once – I’m feelin’ cold and stranded

I’m just lyin’ on my bed

With dreams in my head

I can’t believe it

It’s just a lie

Just a broken-up dream

But I won’t be discouraged

Today’s the day.

Wild beasts are on the prowl

Look out man they’re after you

They’re out to kill your pride

They’re gonna lock you in a cage

Don’t change yourself no way

Don’t sell yourself too short

Keep them all runnin’ around

That’s all you got they’ll never know

Been pushed around all the time

Since the day that you were born

They start off with your body

And move on to your mind

Dress you up all the same

Little soldiers in a line, ready to go

You should decide now you wanna live

Before you find that it’s no go

You don’t have to take what they can give

Don’t be afraid to let it show

You get ready, you run into changes

You get ready, gonna see some changes.

Times I was a lonely man

And so sure that I was through

Livin’ life a wasted hero

No more hopes or dreams to renew

 

It’s something special to me

To know that I could be free

 

When I was lonely it seemed so easy, livin’ my way

But now you’ve show me an easy way to love

 

You taught me how to live again

You let me in to all of your dreams

I want you in my silent world

Don’t make a noise, you might break the spell

 

Take me the way that I am

Don’t try to change me no more

 

Now when I’m lonely, it seems so easy changin’ my ways

Now I’m learnin’ an easy way to live

 

I can break down the walls start all over again

Then maybe, remember, what I really need

I needed someone to start all over again

Y’came along and now I won’t let you leave

 

It’s up to you there is no time to lose

Don’t worry together we’ll make it right

 

We can break down the walls start all over again

We’ll find an easy way to love.

It’s getting’ late, I can’t wait no more

But wherever I go you know

They wanna treat me the same

You know that my fate is to keep movin’ on

It’s what I choose there ain’t  no way

To make me change in my mind

 

What d’you want – I want to live my own life

What d’you need – I need a girl to be mine

What d’you feel – I want to keep on searchin’

May be hard but I don’t care, just all beware

I was born to rock

 

People say, they don’t understand

So we’ve had too much of this

Music’s as we planned

To hell with this game, just give us a break

We’re fighting alone the battle’s tough

But we’re gonna make it

 

What d’you want – I want to live my own life

What d’you need – I need a girl to be mine

What d’you feel – I want to keep on searchin’

It may be hard but I don’t care I just wanna shout

I was born to rock.

Somebody, somebody, come to my side

I’m tired, I’m cryin’ I’m sick inside

My woman, that woman, just wasn’t right

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before

 

So funny, so funny, just like a show

One name, two people all in a row

Somebody, somebody, someone must go

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before

 

I was hurt when I was young

By a woman in the sky

She took my name, she took my pride

Then she threw away my soul

 

Can’t hide, can’t hide, my misery

I know, my sorrow, won’t set me free

She did it, d’you see, she did it to me

Help me now, please my friend, I never felt so bad

Before, never, never before.

(Instrumental)

One more highway, one more hard day

Another lucky way

Makes you feel like you’re alive

 

Things I used to say, things I use to think

For a long long time, each time like another truth

 

Come on get it together now, let’s stay all night long

Come on we’re together now, nothing can go wrong

 

Find a new town, another show down

Gonna be alright

Nothing’s gonna get you down

 

If you’re feelin’ hot, maybe feelin’ cold

Makes no difference, cause we just wanna turn you on

 

Come on get it together now, let’s stay all night long

Come on we’re together now, nothing can go wrong

 

We got all the energy, to get off the ground

Gonna give you that feeling now, gonna give you that sound

Those arms in the air, makes you feel good

 

Don’t lose it – It’s so hard to find

You can use it – it makes you feel high

Don’t abuse it – like makin’ love

Let the music – take over your mind

 

We got full control, get inside your soul

One more old song that makes you wanna sing along

Girl you wanna stay we got things to say

Make you get it on to the music we can play.
