We want a band that plays loud and hard every night And doesn't care how many people are counted at the door That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing but a plate of food and a place to rest They'd strike chords that cut like a knife It'd mean so much more than a t-shirt or a ticket stub They would stop at nothing short of a massacre And everyone would leave with the memory there was no place else in the world And this was where they always belonged And we would dance like no one was watching With one fist in the air Our arenas just basements and bookstores across an underground America With this fire we could light With this fire we could (light) Just gimme a scene where the music is free And the beer is not the life of the party And there's no need to shit talk or impress 'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon And every promise that's made and bragged is meant if not kept We'd do it all because we have to, not because we know why Beyond a gender, race, and class, we could find what really holds us back Let's make everybody sing That they are the beginning and ending of everything And we are stronger than everything they taught us that we should fear |
