[Verse 1]
This is a truth adjust
Has to be told, it must
We spread amongst us so the world can hear it
We got to get it right
This time, if we just fight
Innocence starts tonight
If we can heal it

[Chorus 1]
We look to our leaders
With the lies they try to feed us
Like a knife they try to bleed us
And they cut us real slow

[Chorus 2]
So go
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to the last temptation

[Verse 2]
You have no dignity
I have no sympathy
You are my enemy
But i can't see you
No matter where you run
Thy kingdom will be done
A rocket to the sun
Is where I see you
Endless senses get ecstatic
Overflow is automatic
Feel the need to feel erratic
Don't deny it let it flow

[Chorus 2]
So go
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to this fake salvation

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
