We gotta get us some action
We dial zero, eight
We're tired of bein' a nomad
We wanna stay up late

Runnin' down the subway
That's what we're gonna do
Hubert hook us up we're short on cash
But we'll make it up to you

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is

Going blind with the robots
And all the kids are sick
We're getting rowdy by the fireside
With Lucifer and all his chicks

Helldorado is the place to hang
Same old song
But it can't go wrong
It's just a, it's just a city slang

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is

Well, I want it
Well, I need it
Well, I want it
Now

Well, four in the morning
But we don't give a f*ck
I get the dice rollin'
First man to hundred damn I need some luck

Entombed in the backyard
Baby's gotta cough up phlegm
Second class intoxication
And 45 RPM

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is
