Standing in line, marking time Waiting for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in the silk suit hurries by As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes Just for fun he says, "get a job" That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but don't you believe them Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go 'Cause you don't look like they do Said, hey old man how can you stand To think that way Did you really think about it Before you made the rules? He said, "son That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but don't you believe them" Oh yeah Well, they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more But it only goes so far Because the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar, no, no That's just the way it is And some things will never change That's just the way it is That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is Oversett til norsk

When the lights have turned to grey On the dawning final day See the sun now fade away Can we find the words to say? All the times we fought in vain Through the years and seasons change But we all still feel the same As we stand before the world Feel the engines fire Feel the thunder rise Now touch the path of glory Power to the turbo drive Hot wheels of fire burn strong Flash lightning fries the brain On a course to no tomorrow Driving all of us insane City lights laid out before us Go forth for now your time has come Now your time has come In flash of blue steel, to the far horizons Supersonic power on the wings of a dream Down the roads so far, with nowhere to hide Like a star shooting right from the sky Slow down for no one, never look back now tonight Feel the power beyond redline Lost forever in space and time Higher and higher, adrenaline surging Wheels of fire will burn tonight Leave the trials of life behind Blasting on at the speed of light Tearing up the highway to oblivion Five hundred miles an hour All gravity defied We touched the taste of glory So close the finish line Bright lights still glare before us Give it up for now your time has come Now your time has come Like a demon on wheels, through the cursed blue mountains Don't let a minute go by, give it all 'til the end On a one way street living in the fast lane Feel the passion that runs through your veins Faster with fury to the end of all our days Feel the power beyond redline Lost forever in space and time Higher and higher, adrenalin surging Wheels of fire will burn tonight Leave the trials of life behind Blasting on at the speed of light Tearing up the highway to oblivion We live for the night, we long for the day The glory forever Forever we fight, aside from the night lost out in space A lifetime of dreaming But don't ever stop believing The passion, the fight deep inside The power before me Ascend to the edge of glory Tonight shooting far across the sky Feel the power beyond redline Lost forever in space and time Higher and higher, adrenalin surging Wheels of fire will burn tonight Leave the trials of life behind Blasting on at the speed of light Tearing up the highway to oblivion Oblivion
