[Strat + Company]
I was nothing but a hungry boy
Looking for something new
And it was nothing but an endless dream
But it was something
Something like a dream come true

I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a Jackal
I′ve been running with the pack now

Every day, every night
I feel the fever grow

[Company]
Do ya know what it's like?

[Strat + Company]
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it′s like?
All revved up with no place to go

Let the revels begin
Let the cages be opеned
Let the flags all bе unfurled
I'm just a blue-eyed, blonde-haired black-hearted boy
Killing time until the end of the world
What's the meaning of life?
What′s the meaning of it all?
You gotta dance learn to dance
Before you learn to crawl
You gotta dance learn to dance
Before you learn to crawl

Every day, every night
I feel the fever grow

[Company]
Do ya know what it′s like?

[Strat + Company]
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like?
All revved up with no place to go

Wasted youth!
Wasted youth!

[Company]
Aah!
Wasted youth!
Wasted youth!
[Falco]
They got a file on you and it′s a mile long
And they say that they got all of the proof
That you're just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth

You know that you′re in need
Of some radical discipline
You know you gotta face the truth
I bet you're just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth

[Strat]
They say I′m wild and I'm reckless

[Falco]
You should be acting your age

[Strat]
I'm an impress′nable child
In a tumultuous world
And they say

[Falco]
You′re at a difficult stage!
[Strat]
But it seems to me
To the contrary
Of all the crap
They're going to put on the page

That a wasted youth is
Better by far than a
Wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is
Better by far than a
Wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is
Better by far than a
Wise and productive old age!

A wasted youth is
Better by far than a
Wise and productive old age!

[Company]
(A wasted youth is)
(Better by far than a)
(Wise and productive old age!)

[Strat + Company]
A wasted youth is
Better by far than a
Wise and productive old age!

[Strat]
Well I was nothing but a desperate all-American boy
Looking out for something to do

[Jagwire]
And it was nothing but an endless all-American dream
But it were something like a dream come true

[Ledoux]
I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a Jackal
I was running with the pack

[All]
But every day and every night
I feel the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go!
All revved up with no place to go!
All revved up with no place to go!
All revved up with no place to go!
All revved up with no place to go!
