[Intro]
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo

[Verse 1]
I'm here to testify
I can't remember why
Complete or justify my situation
I don't remember when
And I can only half pretend
A case of now and then
I just need someone

[Chorus 1]
No solution, there's a saner revolution
There's no better way but there's the only way, lead the way

[Chorus 2]
I wanto to break down, I'm going to shake down
I just discovered, I can't wait until tomorrow comes
I want to take a ride, I want to kiss the sky
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes

[Bridge]
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo

[Verse 2]
Spoke out on compromise, just the ego telling lies
Confides and then defies, in case you're waiting
Guess that it's a time for change
Remain but change the name
This game is where to aim
I hear the charge, boy

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
It's liberating, but when it rains it pours
Degenerating, ain't going to fight no more

[Outro]
I want break down, I'm going to shake down
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes
I want break down, I'm going to shake down
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes
I want to take a ride, I want to kiss the sky
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes

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.
