Snapping anger
A raging mind
Obstacles will come
I glare and push past them
A stern face
Simmering blood
Boiling hot
I pick up speed
To bow down and obey
I am no slave
Self-respect is my soul
To hide what's in my heart
There are no clothes
My mind is completely bare
Back off, get lost!
No chain can hold me down
Oh oh...
Back off, get lost!
What do I care? I have no fear
Oh oh...
The burning anger
Gives me fuel
As my nerves tense up
The wheels start spinning
Like sparks of fire
A sign flares in my mind
At the speed of my ride
The sun will fall behind
Oh oh...
The wheels on the road
Will fight and clash
Let it go, in the end
It will come to me
Back off, get lost!
No chain can hold me down
Oh oh...
Back off, get lost!
What do I care? I have no fear
Oh oh...
...
Rough and rugged
With no worries at all
Taking the hardest road
This is my journey
Trembling in fear
Is a bad habit I don't have
This is the heart
Of a fighter
Oh oh...
While the world
Walks in one direction
I rush and fly
In the opposite direction
Back off, get lost!
No chain can hold me down
Oh oh...
Back off, get lost!
What do I care? I have no fear
Oh oh...
Snapping anger
A raging mind
Obstacles will come
I glare and push past them
A stern face
Simmering blood
Boiling hot
I pick up speed
To bow down and obey
I am no slave
Self-respect is my soul
To hide what's in my heart
There are no clothes
My mind is completely bare
Back off, get lost!
No chain can hold me down
Oh oh...
Back off, get lost!
What do I care? I have no fear
Oh oh...
