Everything Louder Than Everything Else lyrics

(Wasted youth...!)

(Wasted youth...!)

I know that I will never be politically correct.

And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette.

As far as I'm concerned the world could still be flat.

And if the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back.

If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back.

Who am I, why am I here?

Forget the questions, someone give me another beer!

What's the meaning of life? What's the meaning of it all?

You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl.

You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl.

So sign up all your raw recruits.

Throw away those designer suits.

You got your weapons cocked,

your targets in your sights.

There's a party raging somewhere in the world.

You gotta service your country, gotta service your girl.

You're all enlisted in the armies of the night.

And I ain't in it for the power!

And I ain't in it for my health!

I ain't in it for the glory or anything at all,

and I sure ain't in it for the wealth.

But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop.

If you wanna get it done,

you got to do it yourself!

And I like my music like I like my life!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than... everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than... everything else!

(Wasted youth...!)

(Wasted youth...!)

(Wasted youth...!)

(Wasted youth...!)

They got a file on me and it's a mile long,

and they say that they got all of the proof

that I'm just another case of arrested development,

and just another wasted youth.

They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline.

They say I gotta face the truth,

that I'm just another case of arrested development,

and just another wasted youth.

They say I'm wild and I'm reckless!

I should be acting my age!

I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world,

and they say I'm at a difficult stage.

But it seems to me to the contrary

of all the crap they're going to put on the page.

That a wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is better by far

than a wise and productive old age!

If you want my views of history then there's something you should know,

the three men I admire most are Curry, Larry and Mo!

Don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past,

and if the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back.

If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back.

So sign up all your raw recruits.

Throw away all those two-bit suits.

You got your weapons cocked,

your targets in your sights.

There's a party raging somewhere in the world.

You gotta service your country, gotta service your girl.

You're all inducted in the armies of the night.

And I ain't in it for the power!

And I ain't in it for my health!

I ain't in it for the glory or anything at all,

and I sure ain't in it for the wealth.

But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop.

If you wanna get it done,

you got to fight for yourself!

And I like my music like I like my life!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than... everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than... everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than everything else!

Everything louder than... everything else!
