Producer: Pete Woodroffe

So you think you'll take another piece of me
To satisfy your intellectual need
Do you want, do you want
Action, action, action, action

Gonna bring you down
Cause you've been pushing me
You've got to recognize my superiority

Liar, liar, liar, liar
You know you believed it
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Cause I'm the main man

And that's why, everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs satisfaction guarantees
That everybody wants a piece of the action

Oh, I was suicidal cause you was my idol
Baby, baby, baby, bring it to your knees
Oh, there was a time I would have walked the line
But you bled me dry with your insatiable greed

Liar, liar, liar, liar
You know you believed it
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Cause I'm the main man

And that's why, everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs satisfaction guarantees
That everybody wants a piece of the action

Do you want, do you want action?
Everybody wants, everybody needs
Everybody wants, everybody needs

Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I've got what everybody needs satisfaction guarantees
That everybody wants a piece of the action, action, action
Action, action, action, action

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.
