[English]

Crash, Smash, Rock, Mash up
Ooh Take what you want
Money, Style, Fame, Love and what?
Ooh Take what you want
Life’s too fast, why hold back, that’s enough
(What you want?!)
I want to see the whole world,
Put some stamps on my passport (What you want?!)
Well, it’s what I planned back when I was young and naive
(What you want?!)
Left home to look for what we dreamed of, what we came for
Crash, Smash, Rock, Mash up
Ooh Take what you want
Money, Style, Fame, Love and what?
Ooh Take what you want
Enough’s not enough to fill me up
Scarf it down, yuh, like a hippo
Smelling like a teen like we Nirvana
Scream it loud, yuh, cause we wanna
That’s what we all looking for
That’s what we all looking for
That’s what we all looking for
That’s what we all looking-
(One, Two, Three) For
I don’t wanna turn back around
I’d rather hop the wall now
(What you want?!)
What I want is something to make it race again
I mean my heart
(What you want?!)
A late-night, dawn delivery kind of fresh song, I need that
(what you want?)
I want the whole world
to wake up and realize
Some people want (this)
Some people want (that)
Same here, all 17 years of my life
Chased after love
Chased after fame
So now I want the whole world
to know my name
Crash, Smash, Rock, Mash up
Ooh Take what you want
Money, Style, Fame, Love and what?
Ooh Take what you want
Enough’s not enough to fill me up
Scarf it down, yuh, like a hippo
Smelling like a teen like we Nirvana
Scream it loud, yuh, cause we wanna
That’s what we all looking for
That’s what we all looking for
That’s what we all looking-
(One, Two, Three) For
