| It didn’t happen for you.
|
| No one wants to hear the truth
|
| Coming from three political queers
|
| Plucking the punk rock groove.
|
| So you break up the band
|
| And leave us all in toe
|
| And now we gotta figure out where to go.
|
| I caught it at a rave
|
| (did it give you a vaccination?)
|
| I saw it on my tv
|
| (did it lighten up your load?)
|
| And every fucking dj
|
| (did you feel affiliated?)
|
| Was telling me i’m free
|
| (like you really had a home?)
|
| I’m free to be a loser
|
| (were the ticket prices too high?)
|
| I’m free to be a trend
|
| (were the lights too bright?)
|
| I’m free to be a backlash over and over
|
| And over again
|
| (was it all a bunch of hype?)
|
| You said i’m losing inspiration one band at a time
|
| Cos i gotta know there’s someone somewhere out there
|
| Singing for our side.
|
| I come up — share the mortar and the glue.
|
| What we build together — we share that too.
|
| And the wind may come, and the rain may fall,
|
| But we stand together or we don’t stand at all.
|
| And i said, where are you going to now
|
| Now that the going is gone?
|
| Where are you going to now?
|
| And it’s a race to your survival
|
| Swimming up the stream,
|
| Crossing over one dam after another
|
| Until we get to rock and roll heaven’s gate.
