Rockin' the Paradise Songtext
von Styx

Whatcha doin′ tonight? (whatcha doin'? whatcha doin′?)
Well, 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

So, whatcha doin' tonight (whatcha doin′? whatcha doin'?)
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 and take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
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

(Go, sparky, go)

Come on and take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
Big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can′t lose


Then we′ll be
Rockin' in paradise
Rockin′ the Paradise tonight (you know we're rockin′ in paradise)
Rockin' in paradise (we′re gonna rock you tonight)
Rockin' the Paradise tonight (everybody's gonna...)
Rockin′ in paradise (rock, rock, rock ya, rock ya, rock ya, rock ya...)
Rockin′ the Paradise tonight (rock ya, rock ya, rock ya, rock in paradise...)
Rockin' in paradise (everybody...)
Rockin′ the Paradise tonight (come on, come on...)
