Electric lights

Blow my mind

I feel alright

Never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

You catch my eye

Bitch, you wanna fly?

I'm so alive

Never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

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

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

...

I'm such a star

Queen Boulevard

Blaze through the dark

Never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

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

...

Get my guitar

Sunglasses on

So light it up

Never stop, it's how we ride

Coming up until we die

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

...

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
