How strong this impulse in your head,
can't stop you even with a sedative.
You got a means, you got a way.
You don't carewhat may come out of it.

Start up more positive.
Start up more emotional.
Start up never mind other eyes.
Start up are you ready now?
Start up the time has come.
Start up stamp your feet hard.
You can do everything now,
with maximum overdrive.

You were a coward who shut yourself up.
But you changed beyond recognition.
You found a reason, you found a dream.
You don't care what may come out of it.

Nice life more pleasure.
Nice life more freedom.
Nice life always keep on going.
Nice life are you ready now?
Nice life starting the show.
Nice life shake your head hard.
You can do everything now, with maximum overdrive.

Everybody has it in their mind.
Everybody has it in their head.
Everybody has it in their fist.
You only don't know how to use it.

Maximum Overdrive [repeat]
