Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We were born to get wild

Hey, turn up the sound

And bring it loud so that

Everyone comes around

Get's wild, get's wild, get's wild

Cause we getting crazy

Burning down the town

We burn it down so that everyone comes around.

Get's wild, get's wild, get's wild

We were born

We were born to get wild

We were born, born, born

We were born to get wild

We were born to get wild

We were born, born, born

We were born to get wild
