Get up... Get the hell on outta here Cut the ropes that bind you Stand up... straight into your fear Leave the past behind you Your cautious ways...have spawned your nothing Life...is just an empty stage Where do you go from here Living...puts the words upon the page Open to a new frontier Your mundane life... is history You'll seize the day... it's mystery [Chorus:] Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down Fire... There's fire in your heart Flames of passion burn Higher... raging from the start And now there's no return Go have your way... your fantasy Embrace the day... it's destiny [Chorus:] Cut the ripcord...don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle...clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Bum the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down beat em' down [Solo] [Chorus:] Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down Beat em' down
