Well, we’re the ravers, we just want to come out and play
If you try to keep us down, you better get out of our way
If you don’t know by now, I’m tellin’ you we’re here to stay

We’re a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin’ right under your wheels

We’re the ravers, oh yeah
The ravers (ahh, yeah yeah yeah)
The ravers, look out

They say we’re brats with no manners or pride
Our reputation’s spreadin’ far and wide
A bottle of gin is all we need tonight
A hell-raisin’ night
Start to shake, oh yeah

We’re a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin’ right under your wheels

We’re the ravers, oh yeah
The ravers (yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
The ravers, watch out

We’re givin’ you the rest, gonna give it to you ‘n’ you
Look out baby, or we’ll get you too
We go anyway, way we choose
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere, we wanted too
Here we go

We’re the ravers
The ravers
The ravers (oh yeah)

Well we’re a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin’ right under your wheels

We’re the ravers, oh yeah
The ravers, yeah yeah yeah, yeah-e-yeah
The ravers come on down
We’re here to stay!
