Lyrics ~ Punk Rock Medley [Live]
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
They’re formin’ in a straight line
They’re goin’ through a tight wind
The kids are losin’ their minds
Blitzkrieg Bop
They’re pilin’ in the back seat
They’re generatin’ steam heat
Pulsatin’ to the back beat
Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey, ho, let’s go
Shoot ’em in the back now
What they want, I don’t know
They’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re formin’ in a straight line
They’re goin’ through a tight wind
The kids are losin’ their minds
Blitzkrieg Bop
They’re pilin’ in the back seat
They’re generatin’ steam heat
Pulsatin’ to the back beat
Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey, ho, let’s go
Shoot ’em in the back now
What they want, I don’t know
They’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re formin’ in a straight line
They’re goin’ through a tight wind
The kids are losin’ their minds
Blitzkrieg Bop
They’re pilin’ in the back seat
They’re generatin’ steam heat
Pulsatin’ to the back beat
Blitzkrieg Bop
Say
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
Hey, ho, let’s go
