  • Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
    I got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
    Oh
    That shit makes me bat shit crazy
    We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

    We're going out tonight (hey)
    To kick out every light (hey)
    Take anything we want (hey)
    Drink everything in sight (hey)
    We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
    While we burn it to the ground tonight
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    We're screaming like demons and swingin' from the ceilin'
    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 'em lined up, shot down, firing back straight Crown

    We're going out tonight (hey)
    To kick out every light (hey)
    Take anything we want (hey)
    Drink everything in sight (hey)
    We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
    While we burn it to the ground tonight
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Tickin' like a time bomb, drinkin' 'til 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 out tonight (hey)
    To kick out every light (hey)
    Take anything we want (hey)
    Drink everything in sight (hey)
    We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
    While we burn it to the ground tonight
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    We're going out tonight (hey)
    To kick out every light (hey)
    Take anything we want (hey)
    Drink everything in sight (hey)
    We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
    While we burn it to the ground tonight Writer/s: Chad Kroeger, Joey Moi, Michael Douglas Henry Kroeger

  • Marissa from Akron, OhThis song is used as the theme song for World Wrestling Entertainment's Monday Night Raw program on the USA Network. I think the image of a wild free-for-all suits the sports entertainment industry quite well.
