Electric lights
Blow my mind
I feel alright
Never stop, it’s how we ride
Coming up until we die
You catch my eye
Bitch, you wanna fly?
I’m so alive
Never stop, it’s how we ride
Coming up until we die
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
I’m such a star
Queen Boulevard
Blaze through the dark
Never stop, it’s how we ride
Coming up until we die
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Get my guitar
Sunglasses on
So light it up
Never stop, it’s how we ride
Coming up until we die
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don’t wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Na na na na na na na
