Lyrics
Smash it up again, I'll bounce off the wall
Shouting, "Enough's enough, this place has to fall"
Breaking out again like an animal
At the speed of sound, I run from it all

Boiling up on the edge, losing grip
What was up is down, welcome to ghost town
So where'd you go when there is no tomorrow?
Gotta get back to something better
Gotta get back to something better

We're taking back tonight, all the dreams we left behind
We're taking back the dawn before the light

Here we go again, we'd heard it before
Like a shotgun knocks you down to the floor
Wind me up again, I'm ready to roll
I'm a wrecking ball that's out of control

Boiling up on the edge, losing grip
What was up is down, welcome to ghost town
So where'd you go when there is no tomorrow?
Gotta get back to something better
Gotta get back to something better

We're taking back tonight, all the dreams we left behind
We're taking back the dawn before the light
We're taking back tonight, all the dreams we left behind
We're taking back the dawn before the light, yeah

Gotta get back to something better
Gotta get back to something better

We're taking back tonight, all the dreams we left behind
We're taking back the dawn before the light
We're taking back tonight (taking back)
All the dreams we left behind (all behind)
We're taking back the dawn before the light

You know it's gonna be
You know it's gonna be alright
