You know the rules, you all know the game   Try to do what's right   And I swear I can't complain   If I die tonight      But I don't think it's in the stars   For me to go that way   I'll be here for a long, long time, babe   I'm here to stay      I was born to rock 'n' roll, everything I need   I was born with the hammer down   I was built for speed      Bet your life it ain't no easy money   But you won't hear me, bitch   Spent a long time wrecked and funny   I've got the ten-year itch      See me running all around the world   Trying to make some time   A million miles, a million girls   A million real good times      I was born to rock 'n' roll, everything I need   I was born with the hammer down   I was built for speed, that's right      Don't you listen to a single word   Against rock 'n' roll   The new religion, the electric church   The only way to go      I don't give a good goddamn   My life's been alright   I'm goin' crazy out of my mind   Every single night      I was born to rock 'n' roll, everything I need   I was born with the hammer down   I was built for speed      I was born to rock 'n' roll, everything I need   I was born with the hammer down   I was built for speed
