lyrics

I don't wanna wake to find you tied up to a white collar/...trading your freedom and your life just for penny's on the dollar./ now I'm not saying things don't change, cus I know they always do/ I just wanna hold onto these memories of playing In dirty basements with you..../ we all have a certain path./ we all have a life to choose./ some choose comfort and an suv../ some choose poverty and the blues/ now I hope when this night is over/ when you head back to your car/ that you just remember and you don't forget/ just who exactly the hell you are// cus this scene means more to me/ than just mowhawks and back patches/ it's the music of our lives/ sung against the general masses/ just don't trade in your fucking life/ for some nickleback cd/ we all have to grow old someday/ but they never said we could not be free/.........so when this song is over/ when I've hit the final chord/ I hope the fires still inside your heart/ I hope you never get too bored/ and someday you can show your kids all the music that you know/ I say long live D.I.Y, power chords and dirty basement shows/ dirty basement shows
