Song title: Born to be wild
by The Speenwolf
Born to be wild
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Here and god are gonna' make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feeling that that I'm under
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
