Well I’ve been brave, and I have been there for my friends,

and I’ve been enslaved by stupid shit that should have surely meant my end,

prior convictions, while they will give me no reprieve,

I still try not to contradict things I’ve believed…

And sometimes when I wake, the morning light,

shows me the things that I’ve done right,

tells me I’ll make it through the day,

tells me I’ll make it through the night…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud,

that I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed,

that I mean every word I say to every face that’s in this crowd,

so if you’re listening, I’ll play it loud…

And I’ve lashed out, just like an animal in pain,

and I’ve looked everywhere but me to point the blame,

and I’ve been selfish, and motivated by my fears,

and so impossible to deal with through the years…

And sometimes when I hear that sad old song,

it brings me right back to my wrongs,

it brings me right back to despair,

right back to fuck it, I don’t care,

but sometimes when I wake, the morning light,

shows me the things that I’ve done right,

tells me I’ll make it through the day,

tells me I’ll make it through the night…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud,

that I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed,

that I mean every word I say to every face that’s in this crowd,

so if you’re listening, I’ll play it loud…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud,

that I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed,

so just in case there is a heaven, and in case you’re looking down,

in case you’re listening, I’ll play it loud,

in case you’re listening, old man, I’ll play it loud,

yeah, I’ll play it loud.

the white bread with pastrami in the corner seems to rot

the white walls four in number, the smell of a dirty drug

the white trash in the needle’s heated up for the shot

the white cars with the red cross will come to pick her up

sweet sweet angelina

see she fucks herself

junky and daydreamer

see she fucks herself

parents, teachers and police gave her up after years

she only starts to feel when the cold turkey appears

the disgusting groaning of the johns is sounding in her ears

she thinks she could win the fight, she got strange ideas

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky (x2)

you and I.

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Violence is an energy

Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
We’re burning down the bargain of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

The Insurgency will rise
When the blood’s been sacrificed
Don’t be blinded by the lies
In your eyes

Violence is an energy
From here to eternity
Violence is an energy
Violence is the enemy
So gimme gimme revolution

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
We’re burning down the bargain of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don’t love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I’m not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Palms up, I’m trading ‘em (trading ‘em)

I’m the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain’t that cheap, now

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don’t care just a-what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care just what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care (I don’t care)
You said I don’t care (I don’t care)
Said I don’t care,
I don’t care
I don’t care (I don’t care), I said-a
I don’t care

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
