Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah

Ready, set, go, light the fire below
No time left to rest my head
Time for action, gonna start the show
I'll do my sleeping when I'm dead
Catch your breath because I won't slow down
I'm gonna kick it up instead

'Cause I know what I'm doin'
And I know what I want

Give me life for the taking
Give me love 'till I'm shaking
Give me rules just for breaking
Because it's never enough, never enough, never enough

People waste time on their hopes and dreams
Fate is always in my hands
Only way I know is the way I'm gonna go
Let others sit and make their plans
I won't stop 'till I make it to the top
Don't need no one to understand

'Cause I know what I'm doin'
And I know what I want

Give me life for the taking
Give me love 'till I'm shaking
Give me rules just for breaking
Because it's never enough, never enough, never enough

You can see what you want to believe
I'm gonna live the life I live
Gonna try 'till the day I die
'Cause I'm givin' all I got to give

Give me life for the taking
Give me love 'till I'm shaking
Give me rules just for breaking
Because it's never enough, never enough
Give me life for the taking
Give me love 'till I'm shaking
Give me rules just for breaking
Because it's never enough, never enough




No, it's never enough, never enough, give it to me
Never enough, never enough, never enough
