Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah

I waited all my life,
And when you know you know,
You gotta and were trying to make.
It all happened those days, days, days
Go by in the days, days, days
Thats why they say, if its all a game.
Uh, they're saying you took the wrong way,
Uh, but there is no right way!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!

I knew it for some time,
And when you know you know
I am of the joys you make.
Your daddy looks for work
Don't take it all, take it all back
When this is all we have!
Uh, they're saying you took the wrong way,
Uh, but there is no right way

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!
Nobody can wreak it!
Nobody can wreak it!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!
Nobody can wreak it!
Nobody can wreak it!

When it kills you, and you dance
When it hurts you and you dance
When it burns you and you dance
When you die, you still dance!

When it kills you, and you dance
When it hurts you and you dance
When it burns you and you dance
When you die, you still dance!

When it kills you, and you dance
When it hurts you and you dance
When it burns you and you dance
When you die, you still dance!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it
We are above,
And no one can wreak it!

We, we own this town,
We own this place,
We own these people
We've got this love, we must protect it




We are above,
And no one can wreak it!
