[English]

So you were born in an electrical storm

Took a bite out the sun

Saw your future in a machine built for two

Now your rays, make me kind of go crazy

Shocked and awe and amaze me

Just a ticker tape parade and me

But something was wrong

'Til you tap danced on the air in the night

Screaming at the top of your lungs, you said

Come on, come on

Do what you want

What could go wrong?

Oh, come on, come on

Come on, come on

Do what you want

Oh, come on, come on

What could go wrong?

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah

Come on

...

Me, I was raised amid the trickle-down days

I woke up numb in the haze

And saw my future in a machine built for two

But the light gave me some kind of fright

How did wrong get so right

And lead me stumbling through the dark of night?

Oh, something was wrong

But you tap danced on the air in the night

Screaming at the top of your lungs, you said

Come on, come on

Do what you want

What could go wrong?

Oh, come on, come on

Come on, come on

Do what you want

Oh come on, come on

What could go wrong?

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah

Come on

Do, do, do, do what you want

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah

Hey

...

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah!

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah!

Do what you want!

Do what you want!

Do what you want!

Do, do what you want

Do, do what you want

Do, do what you want

C-c-c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do what you want

Come on

Yeah!
