We started a band because we were bored
We wrote two songs and taught ourselves every chord
But some of us still had to learn how to play an instrument
We fell in love, we slept around
(Some of us never got off the ground)
We may not be heroes, but we got ourselves a microphone
This is what we say to you, and we hope you sing along
Fuck Trump, drink beer
Start a riot, have no fear
The world has gone to shit
And nobody seems to care about it
Drink more, not less
Love your friends, and forget the rest
Why are we such slaves to greed
When John and Paul say it's love you need
It's been two years, we had our fun
It took that long to get my mom to come to a show
(And only one of us has done cocaine
Wait, what)
We played board games, we made a mess
(I asked the RA to play strip chess)
We graduated and now all of us are moving away
(To Tokyo, to Iowa, Cole's basement)
This is what we sing for you
And we hope you sing along
Folk-punk, sleep late
When you get to heaven just jump the gate
Can't you see that we adore you
When you sing so loud we can't ignore you
Fuck Trump, drink beer
Start a riot, have no fear
The world has gone to shit
And nobody seems to care about it
