Desperate living, driving me mad
Writing's on the wall
Crushed all the hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and nail
Last generation, reckless and free
Up against the odds
Thoughts of revenge are going through me
Fate lies in the cards
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and nail
Desperate living, trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strong are gonna be free
From a world of fools
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and nail
Tooth and nail
Tooth and nail
Straight to the top
Tooth and nail
In the Know
