Europe

Songwriter: Joey Tempest John Norum

It's kind of crazy
How we are slaves to an early grave
So we get wasted
To see clearer through the haze

You gotta shake it off
Get back up
Show what you're made of
Make your own luck

And raise your heart above these streets
Put some soul under your feet
Take only what you need
Raise your heart above these streets
Mercy you mercy me

It's kinda frightening
To see how much this place has changed

You gotta shake it off
Get back up
Show what you're made of
Make your own luck

And raise your heart above these streets
Put some soul under your feet
Take only what you need
Raise your heart above these streets
Mercy you mercy me

Oh, get your head 'round what you need
Oh, get your head 'round what you feel
'Cause this is real

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
