Saturday Night (Hallelujah)
(Erik MartenssonDag Finn)

No one's getting out of this world alive
We live, we die like it's Saturday night
Stay awake we sleep when we're dead
We live, we die like it's Saturday night
We live and we die like it's Saturday night

Don't ever let nobody tell you what you gotta do
Hallelujah for the weekend
And don't believe nobody when they say they speak the truth
Hallelujah for the weekend

Cause we are runaway kids, tryin' to follow our hearts
Living our dream in a house of cards

No one's getting out of this world alive
We live, we die like it's Saturday night
Stay awake we sleep when we're dead
We live, we die like it's Saturday night
We live and we die like it's Saturday night

A million times I've heard them say you gotta give it up
Hallelujah for the weekend
But all the damn haters better keep their mouths shut
Hallelujah for the weekend





Cause it's never too late and you're never too old
Our hearts are on fire never let 'em grow cold
