They tell you what you can't do
Tell you what you can't say
Don't wanna play by these rules
So I'm gonna do it anyway
If they say that you ain't strong enough
Rough enough or tough enough
Tell 'em where to shove it up
That you're never gonna give it up

Don't want to take it easy
Don't want to take it slow
I got here the hard way
And I'm never letting go

Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight

When it's down to the wire
And the crowd is going wild
Everybody's on their feet
And you won't be denied

Records are made to be broken
You can't measure your heart or your pride
You got here the hard way
And you want it all tonight

Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight

"They tell you what you can't do
Tell you what you can't say
Don't wanna play by these rules
So I'm gonna do it anyway
If they say that you ain't strong enough
Rough enough or tough enough
Tell 'em where to shove it up"
That you're never gonna give it up

Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
