[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
Time to rewind
Back to 1995 when we were nothing
Walking through the streets of Boston
No one listening
No one caring about
The empty rooms we played
Until they all showed up one day
[Pre-Chorus]
Then we took the stage
And everything changed
[Chorus]
Turn that shit up louder!
Make it all go faster...
Playing through the witching hour
Take it to a thousand horsepower!
[Post-Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Under lights now
Playing to the masses, everything feels right...
Taking state by state by country overnight
Living in a shell, entering every fight
Seeing millions of people rage
[Pre-Chorus]
When we take our stage
Everybody screams...
[Chorus]
Turn that shit up louder!
Make it all go faster...
Playing through the witching hour
Take it to a thousand horsepower!
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
[Bridge]
Turn it up one more time
Get it up, get it up, and feel alive
Turn it up, turn it up one more time
Get it up, get it up, and feel alive
Turn it up, turn it up one more time
Get it up, get it up, and feel alive
Turn it up, turn it up one more time
Get it up, get it up, and feel alive! Yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Turn that shit up louder!
Make it all go faster...
Playing through the witching hour
Take it to a thousand horsepower!
Turn that shit up louder!
Make it all go faster...
Playing through the witching hour
Take it to a thousand horsepower!
