So whatcha doin' tonight? 
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. 
Whatcha doin' tonight, 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 take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools 
No more 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...
