We're The Greatest

(album: Authentic - 2013)

If a task has once begun
Never leave it 'til it's done
Be thy labour great or small
Do it well or not at all

Oh oh oh, mama we made it, aye
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world
Oh oh oh, I told you we'd make it
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world

Knock knock – who's there?
The one, remember me?
I'm looking kinda different these days, don't you agree?
Your boy's going big these days, didn't even see?
The hell with the devil, there's no sympathy
The wishes in my past are still riding me
All I can do is laugh as they lie to me
You can't take my God from inside of me
Crosses up, light up the sky with me
I got a lot of crazy-ass shit on my mind
Like what's the real reason that the pope resigned?
I got Van Halen, I don't need a bass line
I knew we can do it, it was just a matter of time
Put the apple back on the tree, the grape on the vine
I came back to take back everything that was mine
If I live to be 1-0-9 I'm still in my prime
If I don't then I don't, I'll live on in your mind

Oh oh oh, mama we made it, aye
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world
Oh oh oh, I told you we'd make it
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world

I'm on a hacksaw tour, Eddie got a Frankenstein aimed at your jaw
Speakers under the stage, lift you off of the floor
Why? 'Cause music is the answer to war
We endure, cameras everywhere, everyone is keeping score
Everybody talking 'bout what somebody saw
The world is a steak, I'm a chew it up raw
We're packing heavy metal like we above the law
London, Japan, Germany and France
The streets in New York collide with the Netherlands
Jump up on some shoulders baby, you never dance
You only live once, come on, here's your chance
You could be reborn, half god, half man
If you rise up and grab my hand
If I live to be 1-0-9 I'm still in my prime
If I don't then I don't, I'll live on in your mind

Oh oh oh, mama we made it, aye
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world
Oh oh oh, I told you we'd make it
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world

Eddie Van Halen
We are the greatest
Rise up!

Oh oh oh, mama we made it, aye
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world
Oh oh oh, I told you we'd make it
Oh oh oh, we're finally the greatest of the world
