every song I sing is a broken thought
every chord I play is a chord I didn't want
so if I sing too loud it's because the song is all I've got
so sing with me
give this melody a shot
raise your hand
raise your hand if you feel like me
take a stand
take a stand and set us free
every potion that I drink is a dirty lie
every leader is a junkie gettin' high
so if I ever lead
if I ever lead you at all
well then, please, just remind me of my song
raise your hand
raise your hand if you feel like me
take a stand
take a stand and set us free
raise your hand
raise your hand if you feel like me
take a stand
take a stand and set us free
