Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Electric lights

Blow my mind

But, I feel alright

[PreChorus]

And never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

[Verse 2]

You catch my eye

Bitch, you wanna fly?

I'm so alive

[PreChorus]

And never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

I'm such a star

Queen Boulevard

Blaze through the dark

[PreChorus]

And never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Get my guitar

Sunglasses on

So light it up

[PreChorus]

And never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
