Melody
Bill Wyman & the Rhythm Kings Lyrics

And if any last one of you ever likes to be part of this war, part of it, you get out, you Get out, you get out, one two oh,
If anyone wants to be involved in this lifestyle, they must fully commit or leave. There is no in-between.

I met a lot of friends who were cool But a lot of them were jerks And when I found about the trouble I was causing It only made me act even worse.
I had friends who were nice but also friends who were negative. When I learned about the harm I was causing, it only made me behave worse.

I played a lot of horrible songs Yeah, a lot of them were bad And when I listen back to the way I used to play, It only made me even more mad
I wrote and performed terrible music, and listening back to it only made me angrier and more frustrated.

I used to take what I wanted for free I only ever saw what I wanted to see We were jerks, we were bad and that's all I ever wanted to be.
In the past, I took what I wanted without regard for anyone else. I only saw what I wanted to see, and I was content being a bad person.

Tear it up tear it up tear it up tear it up tear it up Tear it up all night Tear it up up up up up up up Tear it up tear it up all right Tear it up tear it up tear it up tear it up tear it up Tear it up all night Tear it up up up up up up up Tear it up tear it up all right.
Let's live this lifestyle to the fullest and party all night, tearing up everything in our path.

Come on, you've got none, you want it You can't give in, you get out, you're bad come on.
If you have nothing and you want something, you can't give up. Instead, you must fully commit to the lifestyle and embrace being 'bad'.

I never cared much about rules And I did what I wanted in school I hung out on my own, I went it alone And I probably really looked like fool.
I wasn't concerned with following rules, and I did whatever I wanted in school. I spent my time on my own, and it probably made me look foolish to others.

But I did it like I'm top of the rope, And I'll do it like I'm top of the rope. Until I let go, until I let go, I'll always tear it up on my own.
I acted with confidence and like I was in charge. I will continue to behave this way until I am not able to anymore, always living life to the fullest.
