Lyrics

[Intro]
Rip it up
[Verse 1]
Like Clockwork Orange bit of twenty on one
Breaking heads don't sound like much fun
Is that your only way of get, of getting kicks
By breaking heads you know you can't fix?
[PreChorus]
Do you think you're tough
Because you rip it up?
Gotta rip you up
[Chorus]
You gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
[Verse 2]
I've had enough of my violence
Just to kill boredom, makes no sense
We're not the background for your stupid fights
Get out of the darkness, time to unite
[PreChorus]
Do you think you're tough
Because you rip it up?
Gotta rip it up
[Chorus]
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
[Chorus]
Rip it up
[Chorus]
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
[Chorus]
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Rip it up
