Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ow
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
(Ja rule,Swiss the Monster)
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

@IM2BiZ How should I put this? ..... No. Rick Rubin could spend the rest of his entire life working on this to no avail. What's the expression? 'Can't polish a turd.'

@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.
