Hall amp Oates - Rip It Up Lyrics

Don't need no father figure to tell me what to do



Don't need no newspaper to tell me what is new



Don't want no one in power to take away my dreams



Cause they'd sell our souls for the rash of short term victory



Used to be some sincerity



Now there's only greed to fill paper fantasies







I wanna rip it up







I see so many people trying to change their lives



I see my friends falling in love wars all the time



They made some bad bargains but they're too blind to see



So they're walking down that same road



And never learn from history







I can't stand to hurt my heart again



Too much fun to have



Too much life left to live







I wanna rip it up







I feel like fighting



There's a riot in my heart



My heart ain't lying



Got to keep on trying to have a good time



Come on rip



Rip it up
