The kids sing out in defiance Against a world that has forgotten them And the media ask, "why are the kids so angry?" Afterwards they'll go back home, To their uncaring fathers and misunderstanding mothers And they'll dream of a time when they're back again With all their friends at another show Where they will sing, "These are the days... These are the days we will never forget" Sixteen, and all alone, Searching for a place to call her home Thinking about a bottle or maybe even worse, But she pa**ed on self-destruction when she found a better way At the show, with the kids, the excitement of change And singing along with every kid in the crowd, She breathed in deep, and she sang out loud, "These are the days... These are the days... These are the days we will never forget" He was never called cool, no, he never fit in, Cause he thought for himself and he went against the trends, But the abuse at school, was finally setting in... 'Til he found a place to go, with the Other punk rockers at the punk rock show And shoulder to shoulder with his new allies, He forgot about school, as tears came to his eyes... And he sang, "These are the days... These are the days... These are the days we will never forget" Singing under the corner light, my six string in my hand, Playing my songs all by myself, thinking... "No one out there could possibly understand" But it wasn't too long before I realized I was wrong, And I found myself, singing from a stage, A chorus of voices singing along... And we sing... "These are the days... These are the days... These are the days we will never forget."
