You think that you’re a failure And that you’re the only one You’re giving up on life And say that you are done Life’s kicked you down but you could always turn it around Meet us at the bar We could talk this out They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now We had to pick ourselves up When things knocked us down We didn’t depend on anyone To go and bail us out You have to be optimistic If you want to get through life People will only treat you As well as you treat yourself They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now They used to keep us down They double up our drinks for free now

When they tell you to dance Say I don’t dance Say show me your hands Run as fast as you can We are stallions on these streets Never face defeat Tried to tame us like mystical beast Doesn’t feel good When we win And they lose Doesn’t feel good When we win And they lose Don’t question why Assimilate or die We’re always at war With the places we don’t see eye to eye Throw your hands up to the sky Say I don’t want to die God damn it we’ve got to try Doesn’t feel good When we win And they lose Doesn’t feel good When we win And they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose We win they lose

So you feel the pressure To get things done Don’t throw up your hands yet Its not all over Theres time to work it out Sleep when you’re dead We don’t even sleep at all You said you never had a home You got one now We’ve all got struggles Persevere with your knuckles You totally got this You’re totally crushing it Nothing is perfect And thats ok How you respond to All of your struggles Is what defines you Sleep when you’re dead We don’t even sleep at all You said you never had a home You got one now We’ve all got struggles Persevere with your knuckles You totally got this You’re totally crushing it You’ve got a good thing going You’ve got a good thing going You’ve got a good thing going Damn right I know it You’ve got a good thing going You’ve got a good thing going You’ve got a good thing going Damn right I know it

Take a risk lets go It might work who knows It could pay to make a sacrifice Maybe we can’t live forever But we’re in it together We could be your jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life We could see it on your face You really like this place You don’t have to go anywhere So you might take a chance So you might take a stance Doesn’t mean you’ll lose everything Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life Jaws of life

So now you’re a little bit older Hopefully a little bit wiser Everyday brings a new challenge Stay focused you will manage You can’t always take the easy way Out Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout Don’t sit while it passes you by Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout And hold your head up high Count up all your problems How many can you control Looks like you’re not dead yet So things can get better You can’t always take the easy way Out Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout Don’t sit while it passes you by Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout And hold your head up high Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout Don’t sit while it passes you by Sometimes you gotta go for the knockout And hold your head up high

It started at The Fire in Philly Made our way down to DC The tour took the whole east coast We got to play so many places Woooooooah Make it a movement Woooooooah Make it a movement Heading down to Sanford from Jacksonville They say its 92 But it feels like 108 Woooooooah Make it a movement Woooooooah Make it a movement The last night we slept in the van Had no pillows we had to use a beer can Fuck sleep who needs it When you’re part of a punk rock movement Woooooooah Make it a movement Woooooooah Make it a movement Woooooooah Make it a movement Woooooooah Make it a movement

This is our time These are our lives We’re doing anything just to stay alive Throw it at us We could take it There is nothing you can do to phase us We are young We’re never going to die We are young We’re never going to die Those motherfuckers tried to pull the wool over our eyes We are young We’re never going to die You can’t stop us We will make it The rest our lives are in front of us Say we’ll fail We don’t care If you doubt us you can go fuck yourself We are young We’re never going to die We are young We’re never going to die Those motherfuckers tried to pull the wool over our eyes We are young We’re never going to die I hope every time you reach out for a high five Nobody ever leaves you hanging I hope every time you reach out for a high five Nobody ever leaves you hanging I hope every time you reach out for a high five Nobody ever leaves you hanging I hope every time you reach out for a high five Nobody ever leaves you hanging

Change comes but we must keep rolling No matter where your mind is going Doesn’t mean we’re gonna give up now Just because things are different Doesn’t mean they aren’t better Now it’s time to get up and take what’s ours Changes come you can’t stop them We ain’t taking shit from no one Making the best of our situation You’re going to have to embrace some changes Nothing you can do just face it Maybe things are better who’s to say? This is not a time to lay down Gotta go at least one more round Take what’s new go and seize the day Changes come you can’t stop them We ain’t taking shit from no one Making the best of our situation Changes come you can’t stop them We ain’t taking shit from no one Making the best of our situation Changes are coming Nothing can stop them now Changes are coming Nothing can stop them now Changes are coming Nothing can stop them now Changes are coming Nothing can stop them now

So they say that you’re crazy They try to tell you you’ve lost your mind Just because you think differently Doesn’t mean you’re wrong this time Conform today be dead tomorrow There’s a lot of them but you don’t have to follow Find something real not something hollow In due time they’ll know you’re right They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know You’re not alone we’re all in this You’re not the only one that feels this way They’re all talk but no action Don’t give up on what’s true They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know What you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know What you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know They don’t know what you know What you know

Everything is Better Than You Think 02:37
lyrics

Where is your fight your will to survive, from all your internal demons How long are you gonna live in fear, and focus on your negativity Build more bridges don’t burn them down, you’ll never know when you’ll need them Take the reigns with your own hands, it's your life it’s your choice Come on, it’s not that bad Come on, it’s not that bad Can you create something new, without second guessing yourself Being afraid to fall on your face, will just make you unoriginal You need to stop paying attention to, things that shouldn’t have an effect on you The whole world’s not out to get you, despite what you think Come on, it’s not that bad Come on, it’s not that bad Everything is better than you think Everything is better than you think Everything is better than you think Everything is better than you think Everything is better than you think Everything is better than you think
