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... 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... (Styx) (Rocking the Paradise)
