So whatcha doin' tonight?

Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?

Young Americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down

I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy

To tell you the truth we've all seen better days

Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun

Quick trick plans, take the money and run

We need long term, slow burn, getting it done

And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.

Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation

Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes

I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination

We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools

No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules

A fair shot here for me and for you

Knowing that we can't lose

And we'll be rockin' in Paradise

Rockin' the Paradise tonight

Rockin' in Paradise

Rockin' the Paradise tonight

Tonight, tonight...
