We're born to struggle, we're born to lose
but what's life without some trouble for you?
You're either living fast, or not at all
Fuck the rules and break the law.
I got smoke in my lungs, I've got drink in my blood
I just don't care.
I've got my fists clenched tight, and I'm feelin' right
let's live tonight.
Forget the norms and live your life
have fun your way and don't think twice
what could have been is not the question
do your own thing no second guessing
I got smoke in my lungs, I've got drink in my blood
I just don't care.
I've got my fists clenched tight, and I'm feelin' right
let's live tonight.
I won't be held back from anything I need,
If you want it you take it; fuck society.
I'll do what it takes to keep from going under
and I'll do what I do until eternal slumber.
