We paid a price to overcome maybe think twice not give up hope And you will someday find you everything What we need is not what it seems to be What we want is not what we’ve done Survive & live to see another day They’re gonna come for me again And take away all my friends gonna make me disappear Take it all away Let’s go, For fear For a chance to live again Once more it’s time to leave our sack of shit behind You’ll never hear from me but we’re alright
2.
I grew up with a small town crew the bond was strong & we held on true we knew not what we wanted to do but we seen it through You try to push, you try to pull brainwash a generation of fools finding out voice & we refuse to be abused We don’t care what our parents are sayin’ We don’t care for society’s standards We don’t care what the whole world thinks We don’t care No one can divine, they cannot decide story of our time is far beyond their minds we all hold a key, a reason why we bleed sparking a bad seed when love is all we need
3.
One that we call a friend To track a tail of tears carry our burdens One to kill the pain One to feel alright One to help us sleep at night How can we, live like this All day long, do nothing to call our own One can’t save you, Few would help you help yourself All those you see will never be like yourself
4.
Everyone has something that they need to get by People taking any kind of drugs to survive Things we consume don’t control us in my case Vices walking us into old age, our graves I could never do this on my own A little help to get by I’m never alone this goes out to those that can but never try Take a chance or life will pass you by I wish you would get high I wish you would get stoned
5.
A smile full of sand, is on heavy demand They ate for free, we got free weed Soon come the day we left Chino Valley I’m trippin’ balls, freakin the walls eating with rats, sailing full mast we had a life, we felt alright No point in hate & there’s no need to fight started too late, we fell at the gate this town reminds me of forgotten days Searching for the path we somehow double back Justify our choices picking up the broken pieces
6.
Why is life to dysfunctional Do you wanna know? If you have to ask I won’t tell you well enough alone Nothing you do will speed up the pace It is not a race Takin’ it easy once in a while Enjoy the taste Living together we die all the same Stand together or dig you own grave Day to day just playing their game Is that the life now? From cradle to grave we all sing the same song From prick to douche bag all sayin’ along In the end I will not tell you why life is so dysfunctional What’s a worse case scenario
7.
Can’t change his channel yet switch from off to on, not yet Re-live his old school days Forget preset ways you bet He’ll never crack a smile Never laugh & joke, with you For him it’s been a while might just disappear from you We’ll never fade We’ll never fade away again, no Never fade away Forever made Ever good times go on, & on Never fade away
8.
I don’t wanna deal with the landlord today & all that boring shit you know he’s gonna say I’m not gonna move when the push comes to shove Hold me resolve til’ the meek hail from above My credit isn’t much, my wallet needs a crutch the system laughs at me, & wants to see me bleed Our votes don’t mean a damn, I think it’s all a scam All out want a say cannot change their ways Lost in commotion, never seem to try Downfall & Demotion, Free will sucks dry Our rights are lost forever, we’ve been led astray If we don’t stand together we’ll die another day We can never be free You and me will stand & Fight Or the people will never believe
9.
We made a choice when we ran together Not very wise, at the time it seemed so clever We had it right but we had no money Maybe we’re blind, At lease we won’t be lonely I heard a voice it told me to be sober whats the point I’m not getting any younger there is a time when the going gets boring I crack a beer & for now I am ignoring Where we may go, will always be a highway A place to flea, a way to leave forget the past and look unto a new day yeah, let’s fuck the future! Then have a riot!
