Ride the Night

Tell me I’m wrong, which you can’t 'cos I’m not
Nothing’s all you got to lose, and nothing’s all you got
If you stand up big and tall, you’ll be blown to bits
The highest form of flattery, the lowest form of wit
With every sip of venom you can feel the load is growing
The diesel power engine in your gut is overflowing
The wall of sleep is shattered, you’re on the other side
Standing silent like a Terminator, eyes open wide
You don’t need anybody
You ride the night
Everyone can see you screaming high
You wanna be somebody
You ride the night
Everything you do is do or die
If you were sane you’d go completely mad
If you took a single second to consider you’d be glad
Full of sugar pills and poison and you never lived a day
Now you decide you got something to say?
Well it’s too late — you had a vote but you never had a choice
The people with the power never even heard your voice
And they don’t care
To them you’re just a number on an empty chair
They’re switching on the current lighting stogies off your hair
You don’t need anybody
You ride the night
Everyone can see you screaming high
You wanna be somebody
You ride the night
Everything you do is do or die
You don’t need anybody
You ride the night
Everyone can see you screaming high
You wanna be somebody
You ride the night
Everything you do is do or die
You don’t need anybody
You ride the night
Everyone can see you screaming high
You wanna be somebody
You ride the night
Everything you do is do or die
Yeah
You wanna be someone
You wanna be someone
You wanna be someone
