Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
C Dm Dm Am F F
Been shut down I've been kicked around now there's an a-bomb in my heart
C F F C F F
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive

So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
