There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday Night
I worked all day, I slaved away, I gotta set it right
I'm gonna hit the streets, cruise around, I gotta find some action
Ain't gonna stop until I drop or get some satisfaction!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I'm gonna tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Come on now, tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

I've been brutalized, computerized, punched in and punched out
Here comes the night and it just ain't right to be shut in or shut out
So I'm breaking down the barricades, gonna slow the hands of time
Cause to waste away the rest of the day is such a fucking crime!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
You've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

I'll keep grabbin' hold of all the gold in this old world of trash
Long as there's light breaking through the night I'm never gonna crash
And if I'm down and out one day, I won't throw in the deuce
I'll just kick it out, thrash about till I tear it loose, oh

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
We got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Alright, let's tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
