He's got wheels that scream when they hit the ground
Concrete thunder, you can hear the sound
Kickturns, tail slides under neon skies
We were kings of the car park, chasin' the highs
Ripped jeans, torn vans, the world was ours
Painted grip tape and backyard scars
We lived for the moment, the burn, the grind
Skate or die was the state of our mind
Ohhh— we flew with no destination
Ohhh— pure teenage salvation!
Ride! (hey!) ride the edge tonight!
Skate! (hey!) skateboard nation rise!
Ride! (hey!) feel that fire inside!
We were born to roll — we were born to fly!
Empty pools and suburban dreams
Flicker of streetlights, rebel teams
Tony hawk posters and a walkman song
The soundtrack of youth, forever strong
Axe grip in our hands, world in our sight
Halfpipe hearts on an endless night
We bled on the pavement, we laughed, we roared
Freedom was the prize we all adored
Ohhh— we ruled that generation
Ohhh— no fear, no hesitation!
Ride! (hey!) ride the edge tonight!
Skate! (hey!) skateboard nation rise!
Ride! (hey!) feel that fire inside!
We were born to roll — we were born to fly!
We fell, we crashed, we rose again
Bruised and wild, we'd never bend
That board was our voice, our war, our friend
A brotherhood that never ends
Ride! (hey!) ride the edge tonight!
Skate! (hey!) skateboard nation rise!
Ride! (hey!) turn up those lights!
We're still rolling — yeah we're still alive!
Ride! (hey!) ride the edge tonight!
Skate! (hey!) skateboard nation rise!
Ride! (hey!) with fire in our eyes!
We're the 80s souls — we'll never die!
