Action This Day (Live at the Milton Keynes Bowl, 5th June 1982) lyrics

[Intro]
Action
Hey!

[Verse 1]
This street honey is a mean street
Living in this street honey needs a mean streak
We've got criminals living in this street

[Refrain]
You got a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, this world is using me

[Verse 2]
This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a let-down
Coming to this town honey is a showdown

[Refrain]
You got a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in a shutter
Or a sight of a light at the end of a tunnel
I gotta feeling that just won’t quit, this world is using me
[Chorus]
Action this day
Action this night
Oh, you’ve got the power to know, to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day
Action this night
Oh, you've got the power, you've got the power
You've got the power to know and to live
You can't say it ain't right

[Verse 3]
Your mind honey is a bleak place
Living in your mind honey, in a blank space
Your mind is coming from a rat race

[Refrain]
You got a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling that just won't quit, this world is using me

[Chorus]
Action this day, yeah
Action this night
Ooh, you’ve got the power to know and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day, yeah
Action this night
Ooh, you've got the power, you've got the power
You've got the power to know and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Hey!
[Keytar Solo]

[Bridge]
Action
Action
Action
Action, give me
Living in this street, living in a mean street
This street, this street
You know I want action (Oh)
I want action, give me (Hey!)
Action, give it to me
All day

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh baby
Give it to me
Give it to me right now
Give it to me
Give it to me right now
Action, action
Action, action
I got a feeling that just won’t quit
This world is using me
[Audience Cheering]

[Outro]
I got this feeling
I got this feeling
That this world
Is using you and me

[Audience Applause]
