Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day?
One by one, grew the problems
Build up, and stand in our way. Oh

One step ahead, one step behind it
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans I'll dream about yesterday, hey!
Come on turn, turn this thing around

Right now
Hey! It's your tomorrow
Right now
Come on, it's everything
Right now
Catch your magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything

Miss a beat, you lose a rhythm
And nothin' falls into place
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace

The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for another
Workin' so hard to make it easy
Got to turn, come on
Turn this thing around

Right now
Hey, it's your tomorrow
Right now
Come on, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me
Right now
What are you waitin' for?
Right now

Right now
Hey! It's your tomorrow
Right now
Come on, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment
And do it right, right now
Oh, right now!

It's what's happening
Right here and now
Right now, it's right now
Tell me, what are you waitin' for?
Turn this thing around

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
