Vibrations got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun

Mayhem children take no lip
Rev your engine from the hip

Ghetto star you'll go far

Dress up in your fancy clothes
Set good times to overload

09. Born To Be Wild

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Mars Bonfire
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah

Get your motor running
And head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Accept the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
And I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Small town any place
Prodigal son, hey, loyal to none

Renegade from another world
Child, he was the wild one

Took a shotgun in his hand
Turned on dude candy-man
He walked into the wrong town

Deputy dog man wait inside
Jimi thought he'd better hide
Suddenly changed his mind
Shot 'em all on sight, yeah

Outlaw
From the badlands baby, badlands baby
Outlaw
Dizzy in the head and feelin' bad

Bandito
Fallen angel, out of time

You got a perfect way
All the things that you play
Cut clearly like a knife to the bone
Mama's calling you, you'll never get back home
Never get back home, never get back home

Baby, get it while it's real good, yeah
All around the world sure do need guitar, yeah
You'll never get back home, no, no, no
You'll never get back home, yeah

Angelic poses that never miss, no they don't
Reverberation shuffle to the bone, yeah
Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swinging to the guitar sound, yeah

Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake...
