It didn't happen for you
No one wants to hear the truth
Coming from three political queers
Plucking the punk rock bloom
So you break up the band
And leave us all in tow
Now we gotta figure out
Where to go
I caught it at a rave
Did it give you vaccination?
I saw it on my T.V
Did it lighten up your load?
And every f**ing DJ
Did you feel affiliated?
Is telling me I'm free
Like you really had a home?
Free to be a loser
Were the ticket prices too high?
Free to be a trend
Were the lights too bright?
Free to be a backlash
Over and over and over again
Was it all a bunch of hype?
You say I'm losing inspiration
One band at a time
'Cause I gotta know there's someone, somewhere
Out there singing for our side
Where I come up, we share the mortar and the glue
And what we build together we share that too
And the wind may come and the rain may fall
But we stand together, we don't stand at all
Where are you going to now
Now that the goings gone?
Where are you going to now
So here's to your survival
And swimming up the stream
Crossing over one damn after another
Until we get to Rock and Roll Heaven's gate
I caught it at a rave
Did it give you vaccination?
I saw it on the T.V
Did it lighten up your load?
And every f**ing DJ
Did you feel affiliated?
Is telling me I'm free
Like you really had a home?
Free to be a loser
Were the ticket prices too high?
Free to be a trend
Were the lights too bright?
Free to be a backlash
Over and over
Until I get to rock and roll heaven's gate
