Intro (x4) verse 1 What cha doin' tonight? Well, have you heard that the world's gone crazy? Young Americans listen when I say: There's people puttin' us down, I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy, To tell you the truth, we've all seen better days. Bridge Don't need no fast buck, lame duck, profits for fun, Quick trick plans, take the money and run, We need long term, slow burn, gettin' it done, And some straight talkin', hard rockin' son of a gun. verse 2 So what cha doin' tonight? I got faith in our generation. Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes. I ain't lookin' to fight, But I know with determination, We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules. Bridge C’mon and take pride, be wise spottin' the fools, Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules, A fair shot here for me and for you, Knowin' that we can't lose. And we'll be rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight, Rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight, Tonight, tonight. Instrumental A (x2) Bridge C’mon and take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools, Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules, A fair shot here for me and for you, Knowin' that we can't lose. Outro Then we'll be rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight, Rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight, Rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight, Rockin' in paradise, Rockin' the paradise tonight.
