Long ago, we watched the videos
On Headbanger's Ball that's where we learned it all
Wearing spandex pants, six-string lasers in their hands
Synchronized guitars they laid out the master plans, yeahDefending the faith, keep fighting forever
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be ours
Defending the faith, we'll never surrender
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be oursSitting on our bed hair helmets on our heads
We've got no time for chicks, we're practicing our licks
We come from Albany, Anchorage, and Milwaukee
Toledo, Bowling Green, all wanting the same dreamDefending the faith, keep fighting forever
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be ours
Defending the faith, we'll never surrender
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be ours, woah, woahNow I'm a man, I'm playing in a band
We drive around the world in our rental van
We're coming to your town to help you party down
But we'll be gone tomorrow night because we'll never stop the fight, yeahDefending the faith, keep fighting forever
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be ours
Defending the faith, we'll never surrender
Fighting so hard, fighting so long victory will be ours, woah, woah
