Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
G# A#m A#m Fm C# C#
Been shut down I've been kicked around now there's an a-bomb in my heart
G# C# C# G# C# C#
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
G# A#m A#m Fm G# G#
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause right now under this fevering moon

For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my mind

But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a bug-free zone
G# A#m A#m Fm G# G#
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out
