Lyrics Artifact - I Fight Dragons

Artifact

Grab your lighters
Go grab your souvenirs
Grab your friends, and your posters from the good years
Grab your albums
Go get your videos
Pack 'em up, 'cause we’re heading to the big show
Downtown
Down at the stadium
We’re gonna burn everything that we once loved
It had a time
It had a place
But then the whole world spit in their face, so
Break all the guitars and burn them now
Rock is dead — they held a funeral
Once upon a time, they made it
Now the DJ’s just replaying
I’m not saying that it’s all bad
Disco died but then they dug it up again
Maybe one day, all the kids will go
«Guitar, bass, and drum?
So retro!»
«Let's start a band!
Let’s start a movement!»
«Let's go rock some faces in a basement!»
'Til then
It’s a sea of wasted faces waiting for the bass drop
Break all the guitars and burn them
Rock is dead — they held a funeral
Once upon a time, they made it
Now the DJ’s just replaying
I am an Artifact
I am a dinosaur
I was alive before we started fighting Gulf Wars
So chalk it up
To nostalgia
I don’t give a fuck 'cause I’m still gonna tell you
Break all the guitars and burn them
Rock is dead — they held a funeral
Once upon a time, they made it
Now the DJ’s just replaying
Break all the guitars and burn them
Rock is dead — they held a funeral
Once upon a time, they made it
Now the DJ’s just replaying
