The provided lyrics are from Jim Steinman's own solo album, "Bad for Good". Meat Loaf's version on Bat III omits the "God speed!" phrases.
The song is pretty straightforward, an anti-conformist anthem, a common theme among Steinman's music. Whenever I hear or think of this song, it reminds me of a lyric from "Everything Louder Than Everything Else"
"Wasted youth is better by far
Than a wise and productive old age"
