  • Lets go, oh yeah
    Spent all of my life breaking all the rules
    Stepping out of line, the streets are my school
    Can't get enough, all the good time
    Down and live it up, while stand alive

    I'm a hell raiser, risk taker, full speed ahead
    Till I'm dead in the fast lane
    Live wire, wild fire
    I'd rather better been take the pain away
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)

    The devil make 'em and I don't give a damn
    To hell with the reason, it's on stare
    You got the invitation, I got the booze
    Lots of vacation when there's nothing to lose

    I'm a hell raiser, risk taker, full speed ahead
    Till I'm dead in the fast lane
    Live wire, wild fire
    I'd rather better been take the pain away
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up), ah yeah

    Nothing went live, sleep when I die
    Don't you ever tell me to stop
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    You gotta live it up

    I'm a hell raiser, risk taker, full speed ahead
    Till I'm dead in the fast lane
    Live wire, wild fire
    Live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    Oh live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    You gotta live it up
    (You gotta live it up)
    I'm a hell raiser

    Nothing went live, sleep when I die
    Don't you ever tell me to stop
    You gotta live it up Writer/s: Brian Howes, Joel O'Keeffe, Ryan O'Keeffe
