This is the payoff, payoff
Now that we're on top, won?t stop
To do what we do
Is our dream come true,

We?re never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop it's the payoff
Can?t stop, can?t stop
That's the payoff

Can't stop, no I can't stop.
Remember when you got your first drum set
And how we used to practice in the basement
When I was singing like Billy Joe

Don't wanna be the American Idiot
Summer time came with a concert
Mcdonalds wouldn?t let me book in off work
So I called them sick the night of the show

The crowd was screaming encore
Soon enough we went and got our tour bus
All the girls were screaming just to touch us
They all wanted to take us home

Now everywhere we look we see our faces
But we know that we?ll never let that change us
Till Oprah lets us play on her show
The crowd was screaming encore

This is the payoff, payoff
Now that we?re on top, won?t stop
To do what we do
Is our dream come true,

We?re never gonna give it up
We?re never gonna stop
It?s the payoff, payoff
You only get one shot, one shot

Gotta take that chance and make it last
We?re never gonna give it up
We?re never gonna stop, it?s the payoff
We will rock you

We?re gonna scream it out with the crowd tonight
We will rock you
Everybody singing every word and every line
We will rock you

We just got to
This is everything we?ve ever dreamed of
Remember getting drunk around the campfire
Writing stupid songs about becoming rock stars

We never ever thought it would go this far
This is the payoff, payoff
Now that we?re on top, won?t stop
Gotta take this chance and make it last

We?re never gonna give it up,
We?re never gonna stop
It?s the payoff
Can't stop, can't stop, won't stop
Wont stop, no we cant stop
