The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Ohh I like that let's go

LETS ROCK THIS
Stop and listen I'm a man on a mission
See a Dancefloor and take my position
Simply, the best days of our life
Party none stop, no trouble or strife
What we gunna do when the weekend lands
Bust out the booze and the tunes and the grams
Forget about ya blues and ya bills and ya plans
Coz the musics loud and I'm feeling it man
Cars arriving, supplies are stocked
The Partys starting, the bottles are popped
Neighbours fuming, Karens on top
Nobody cares if ya Dogs got lost
We live for the weekend, life is good
Party none stop, if only we could
Reality hits when the Monday arrives
Remember these days, the times of our lives
We got Booze on tap and we losing track and the room is spinning
And it's moving fast and the room is packed
Got the tunes on blast
Fill ya glass the's still more to drink
We got Booze on tap and we losing track and the room is spinning
And it's moving fast and the room is packed, got the tunes on blast
No work for me I'm gunna call in sick
Get down when the DJ drop this
Get down
Get down
Get down when the DJ drop this
Yeah we got a Hot Mix
Everybody watch this
Bottles of booze is scattered about
A lad and his Mrs are having it out
I got crates in the boot man we dragging them out
My girls on the table dancing about
And the place is packed and I'm cracking a can
Girls posing for the snaps on the Gram
Some lads are smoking out back
Me? Trying to drink as fast as I can
WOAH
Used to be on lines now I'm logged off
So much energy I couldn't nod off
Up so high my ears have gone pop
This party none stop
Yeah the buzz I got
I can't contain it
A vibe like this and I can't explain it
Got no words I couldn't even paint it
I be on such a high, FADED
I've got so many things in my pocket that will keep us awake
When I call time on this you know I'm gunna leave in a state
No 4 pack of tinnys
Nah
What I need is a crate
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling great
We got Booze on tap and we losing track and the room is spinning
And it's moving fast and the room is packed
Got the tunes on blast
Fill ya glass the's still more to drink

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
