Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah we did it
(It's on fire)
Yeah, we did it
(We are ready to rock this)
Yeah, we did it
(Uh uh ye got Metallica, in here)
Yeah, we did it
Let's go
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
I love fast cars, fast brauds
'Cause I'm a rockstar, baby
Born in the U.S.A
I'm gonna hit the highway on my Harley, do about 38
Nothin' else but take it easy
Any woman that won't please me, I'll give her up
Anythin' that won't touch or move me, I'll give it up
And I know you're all serious
We did it, did it again
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah, we did it
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah, we did it, let's go
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
Who loves a little rock and roll
Mixed with a little bit of hip hop soul? We do
Come one on a rock steady, keep you rockin'
Get ready and say we did it, we did it again
Believe in the air you breathin'
I'm a mad work freak with a freaky weekend
No matter what you spend 'cause your just livin' it up
And damn, if we don't do it again
Come on in, baby bring some friends
We havin' a party, tonight
I'm bringing juice and gin, you'll beat your head
Swiss we did it, did it again
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah, we did it
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah we did it, let's go
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Rip that smile right off your face
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Rip that smile right off your face
Fast cars, fast brauds
I'm a rockstar, baby
Born in the U.S.A
Highway, Harley
Who loves a little rock and roll
Mixed with a little bit of hip hop soul
We do, we do
Now break it down, break it down
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah, we did it
More than this, nevermore you whippin' boy
Yeah, we did it, let's go
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
Yeah, we did it, did it again
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
Yeah, we did it, did it again
Yeah, you know about that time
Rip that smile right off your face
Rip that smile right off your face
Rip that smile right off your face
Rip that smile right off your face
Rip that smile right off your face

@DavySolaris
I've been laughing hysterically at this song and the making-of documentary for almost a decade now, and I literally feel exactly like this
It's too fucking precious.
