Lyrics[]
- Janja:
- When you live in the Outlands
- It's better to make your own rules
- Ask anyone outside the Pride Lands
- The Circle of Life is for fools
- We go where we want when we want to
- And we eat
- Yes, we eat as we please
- That Kion can't give us a curfew
- Mzingo:
- Or tell us to stay in the trees
- Hyenas:
- No!
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- No one's safe so the time is right
- The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- Janja:
- So before this new Guard is ready
- To defend the Pride Lands from harm
- We'll make them all feel unsteady
- We'll give them cause for alarm
- Hyenas:
- Yeah!
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- No one's safe so the time is right
- The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- Janja (spoken):
- All right fellas, bring it in
- Here's the plan
- Janja:
- While the animals are in their slumber
- We'll be creeping beneath
- And just like a roaring thunder
- We'll wake them up with our teeth
- Hyenas: Aah!
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- No one's safe so the time is right
- The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we strike
- (Repeat one time)
- Janja:
- Tonight we strike!
- Nobody is safe!
- Janja and Hyenas:
- The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
- Tonight we strike
- Tonight we STRIKE!
