Lyrics:

[English]

Well, it's midnight, damn right

We're wound up too tight

I've got a fist full of whiskey

The bottle just bit me

Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy

...

We've got no fear, no doubt

All in balls out

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

We're screaming like demons

Swinging from the ceiling

I got a fist full of fifties

Tequila just hit me

Oh, we got no class, no taste

No shirt, and shit faced

We got it lined up, shot down

Firing back straight crown

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

...

Ticking like a time bomb

Drinking till the nights gone

Well, get your hands off of this glass

Last call my ass

Well, no chain, no lock

And this train won't stop

We got no fear, no doubt

All in balls out

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Ooh, ooh, ooh

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

...
