No time for bad times
And there’s something left to say
Oh all my friends are black sheep
But we haven’t lost our way
The flame’s upon us, you know we wear it well
World looks so different to me, obliged rebel
Neur-addled masses, we’ve got to bring the fight
Raise a glass and raise a fist into another night
We’ve seen the days turn into years
But now there’s nothing left to fear
Sealed up in echo chambers, no thought to give exam
Oh, give ‘em hell, a freedom fight, to help see through the sham
We’ve seen the rat race, an errand for the fool
They don’t know where they’re going, but they’re going to get there soon
So make a weapon of your voice
We’re never turning down the noise
Eyes wide, it’s do or die, a test passed with aplomb
Day after, what a trade, tomorrow for some fun
We’ve had a blast now but this ain’t the apogee
Made the case, no mistake, it won’t die with me
You’re stuck forever asking why?
Remember to live before you die
They’re going to find you
Don’t run away
Oh, let them hear you
A better way
