Everything Louder Than Everything Else

(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 gimme 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 you raw recruits Throw away those designer suits You got your weapons cocked and your targets in your sight There's a party raging somewhere in the world You gotta serve 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 of 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 gotta 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, ah) (wasted youth - wasted youth, ah) 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! (louder, louder, louder, louder, louder!) If you want my views of hist'ry, then there's something you should know; the three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Moe! If you don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past And if they say 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 you raw recruits Throw away those two-bit suits You got your weapons cocked and your targets in your sight There's a party raging somewhere in the world You gotta serve 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 of 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 gotta 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! (repeat to fade and instrumental coda)
