You've gotta understand
You've gotta understand
It's just a fact that you must attack
You gotta get it while you can

Well, everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Cause everybody's business is everybody's business

Yeah, we hope you'll understand
Yeah, we've got a master plan
Yeah, we're an American band for you

Cause when you're hypnotized
Cause when you're hypnotized
They'll spin you gold and paint you black
With the blood of your surprise

Well, everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Cause everybody's business is everybody's business

Yeah, we'll help you party down
Yeah, we're coming to your town
Yeah, we're are an American band for you
