May Elvis turn in his grave And Les Paul kiss my dirty, calloused fingers And may the likes of this song never make One fucking dollar, leave it for a demo tape To be played until it's broken, Then remembered only for what it was. That we gave them hell That we gave them hell That we gave them hell That we gave them hell That we gave them hell That we gave them hell To my friends and enemies who could of been anything, Titans and heroes who found sruvival in cause and effect. Behind counters, Behind windows, Striving just To be people With bitter ideals of justice. Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent? Sleeping under plastic stars glued to ceiling, Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine Every morning. But we gave them hell But we gave them hell But we gave them hell But we gave them hell But we gave them hell But we gave them hell There's a height beyond skyscrapers, There's a distance beyond the freeway, More than pictures in a magazine, More than tragedy in a rock and roll song. It's more than actions you know are safe to make. It's more than money could ever buy. Are we working to live and die in American cities? Living to work and die in American cities, And dying for what we worked. -------------------------------------------------------- (lyrics by rhyno786@hotmail.com from www.plyrics.com) ===============================================================================
