The Living Things - Bom Bom Bom

I was looking for the lyrics on the net for this song, and couldn't find them, so I transcribed them myself...

Bom Bom Bom

We're gonna wake this city tonight
Oh, Watch it burn into the twilight
I said, Hey, Hey Hey this is our birthright
To be bought and sold, shipped off ready to die
We're ready to fight

We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
2x

I can't drink but drive a tank at nineteen
So, I set off to join the U.S. Army
The first time I left my country
I felt the desert sand marchin' under my feet.
Come march with me

Refrain 2x

We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...

I said
No NYC, Los Angeles
No Saint Louis, No New Orleans
No U and Me, No U and Me, No Sympathy
Cause we're gonna bring them, bring them to their knees

Refrain 2x

We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...
The Living Things
EDIT: Thanks to the anonymous comment, I have changed the OR to BUT

This is how I heard the lyrics:

Bom Bom Bom - Living Things

We're gonna wake this city tonight
Oh, watch it burn into the twilight
I said hey, hey, hey this is our birthright
To be bought and sold, shipped off ready to die. We're ready to fight.

We're going bom bom bom. Bom bom away bom.
Bom bom, bom bom.
We go bom bom, bom bom away bom. Bom bom, bom bom.

I can't drink or drive a tank at nineteen
So I set off to join the U.S. Army
The first time I left my country
I felt the desert sand marchin' under my feet. Come march with me.

We're going bom bom bom. Bom bom away bom.
Bom bom, bom bom.
We go bom bom, bom bom away bom. Bom bom, bom bom.

We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city 'til broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city 'til broad daylight
Shake it. Oh shake it.

I said: No NYC, Los Angeles
No Saint Louis, no New Orleans
No you and me, no you and me, no sympathy
Cause we're gonna bring them, bring them to their knees

We go bom bom bom, bom bom away bom. Bom bom, bom bom.
We go bom bom, bom bom away bom. Bom bom, bom bom.

We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city 'til broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city 'til broad daylight
Shake it. No brights lights, no more big city.
Shake it. No brights lights, no more big city.
Shake it. No brights lights, no more big city.
Shake it. No brights lights, no more big city.

I've been looking for this lyrics, and who sant it. It has not been played on the radio lately, so I cant get the lyrics nor the band.

Thanks for taking me out of my misery.
