Lyrics
PIECE OF THE ACTION
VERSE
THERE'S SOMETHIN' GOIN' DOWN, THE WORD IS GOIN' 'ROUND
IT'S ALL ON TONIGHT, I'M MOVIN' I'M ALRIGHT
THE STAKES ARE HIGH, I'LL HAVE TO FLY
I'M FEELIN' REAL GOOD, I GOTTA MAKE IT THRU
CHORUS:
I WANNA BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW
I WANNA BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
I GOT MYSELF IN THIS GAME
COS I GOTTA GET A PIECE OF THE ACTION
VERSE
MAKING MY WAY, MAKING IT PAY
GETTING PUT DOWN, AIN'T MY KIND'A TOWN
I'M A BUSINESS MAN, IT'S ALL IN MY HANDS
MAKE THE SCORE CLEAN, HOT-SHOT WINNIN' MACHINE
CHORUS:
I WANNA BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW
I WANNA BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
I GOT MYSELF IN THIS GAME
COS I GOTTA GET A PIECE OF THE ACTION
BRIDGE - TAKE DOWN
IT'S A MIGHTY FINE LINE AND GETTIN' THINNER ALL THE TIME
WHAT GOES UP GOTTA COME DOWN
THE NAME OF THE GAME IS YOU'RE RIDIN' ON A STAR
TIL YOU HIT THE GROUND
GO FOR IT AND DO IT CHASE THE DREAM
MAKE IT COME TRUE
SOME YOU WIN, SOME YOU LOSE
CHORUS:
I WANNA BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW
I WANNA BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
I GOT MYSELF IN THIS GAME
COS I GOTTA GET A PIECE OF THE ACTION
CHORUS:
I WANNA BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW
I WANNA BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
I GOT MYSELF IN THIS GAME
COS I GOTTA GET A PIECE OF THE ACTION
PIECE OF THE ACTION
PIECE OF THE ACTION
PIECE OF THE ACTION
PIECE OF THE ACTION
