Risin' up, back on the street Took my time, took my chances Went the distance Now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happened too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds Still we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger
Risin' up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance Now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger
Two worlds collide Rival nations It's a primitive clash Venting years of frustrations Bravely we hope Against all hope There is so much at stake Seems our freedom's up Against the ropes Does the crowd understand? Is it East versus West Or man against man Can any nation stand alone CHORUS In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning heart
In the warriors code There's no surrender Though his body says stop His spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul A quiet ember Know it's you against you It's the paradox That drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack It's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone CHORUS (sing chorus 3 times) In the burning heart
Super highways, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are
Chorus: Living in America - eye to eye, station to station Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation Living in America - got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track All night radio, keep on runnin' through your rock 'n' roll soul All night diners keep you awake, hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line, you might take the hard line But everybody's working overtime
(chorus)
I live in America, help me out, but I live in America, wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land, but you might find it anyway Under one of those old familiar names Like New Orleans (New Orleans), Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas) Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.), New York City (New York City) Kansas City (Kansas City), Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.
Living in America - hit me Living in America - yeah, I walk in and out Living in America
I live in America - state lines, gonna make the prime, that I live in America - hey, I know what it means, I
Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out Living in America - hit me, I said now, eye to eye, station to station Living in America - so nice, with your bare self Living in America - I feel good!
We're not indestructible, baby better get that straight I think it's unbelievable how you give into the hands of fate Some things are worth fighting for some feelings never die I'm not askin' for another chance I just wanna know why
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home There's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
I don't wanna pasify you I don't wanna drag you down But i'm feelin like a prisoner like a stranger in a no named town I see all the angry faces afraid that could be you and me Talkin about what might have been I'm thinkin about what i used to be
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home There's no easy way out givin in can't be wrong
Baby,baby we can shed this skin we can know how we feel inside Instead of going down and endless road not knowin if we're dead or alive Some things are worth fightin for some feelings never die I'm not askin for anbother chance i just wanna know why theres no easy way out there's no shortcut home there's no easy way out givin in givin in can't be wrong no there's no easy way out there's no shortcut home there's no easy no easy no easy way out (repeat and fade)
