Hanging out when it's past time to go Though everyone tried to ignore us We'd scared them all off by the chorus There you stood looking proud What was left of the crowd at our show And I was twenty-two backwoods years old You were singing that night by

Head in a cloud And they wake up, and they go out We only wake 'cause our eyes are open Open so wide we walk in the dark Trying so hard to keep what we're losing Using our feet to show them the movements We were like them before we were older Just like

I won't show my face here anymore But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else These streets are yours, you can keep them All that's left behind I don't want them They pull me back, and I surrender To

Silence is the enemy Scream it out loud You got to show them You are the chosen We are the broken We got to show them We never wanted it to be this way They never listen to a word we say So scream your heart out

I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we use to be I decided long ago never to

If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out You took my hand, you showed me how You promised me you'd be around Uh huh, that's right I took your words, and I believed

Swing life away We get by just fine here on minimum wage I'll show you mine if you show me yours first Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words I won't cross these streets until you

Ole ole ole ola And wave them side to side (Side to side) Put your flags up in the sky (Put 'em in the sky) Show the world where you're from (Show them where you're from) Show the world we are one (One love, life) It's your world, my world, our world
