Lyrics:


Bad fun sister, time to go

Life's too short, on with the show

I said, get your kicks on the razor's edge

Atomic bomb overhead


Set controls for the sun

Bad fun baby just begun

Rhythm like a rumblin' train

Hit those skins, explode my brain


Spirit like a rumblin' train

Spirit of the thunderin' rain

Vibrations got you on the run

Electric child on bad fun


Mayhem children take no lip

Rev your engine from the hip

Yeah nighttime, she's callin' you

Ghetto star you'll go far


Dress up in your fancy clothes

Set good times to overload

Rhythm like a rumblin' train

Hit those skins, explode my brain


Spirit like a rumblin' train

Spirit of the thunderin' rain

Vibrations got you on the run

Electric child on bad fun


Spirit like a rumblin' train

Spirit of the thunderin' rain

Vibration got you on the run

Electric child on bad fun, get up


Spirit like a rumblin' train

Spirit of the thunderin' rain

Vibrations got you on the run

Electric child on bad fun


Spirit like a rumblin' train

Spirit of the thunderin' rain

Vibration got you on the run

Electric child on bad fun


Yeah

Ow

Ow

Yeah
