[00:19.01]Lost the confidence to write a song [00:22.62] [00:24.27]So I found three simple chords [00:26.21]And held them together with my weak voice [00:29.45] [00:30.20]On an out of tune guitar my father gave to me [00:36.07] [00:40.64]And may Elvis turn in his grave [00:44.06] [00:44.89]And Les Paul kiss my dirty, calloused fingers [00:48.75] [00:50.78]And may the likes of this song never make one f**king dollar [00:56.16]Leave it for a demo tape to be played until it's broken, [00:59.96]Then remembered only for what it was [01:02.14] [01:06.16]That we gave them hell [01:07.47] [01:08.71]That we gave them hell [01:10.23] [01:11.41]That we gave them hell [01:12.71] [01:16.72]That we gave them hell [01:18.26] [01:19.43]That we gave them hell [01:20.75] [01:22.02]That we gave them hell [01:23.69] [01:27.40]To my friends and enemies who could have been anything [01:30.56] [01:31.21]Titans and heroes who found survival in cause and effect [01:35.31]Behind counters, behind windows, striving just to be people [01:39.35]With bitter ideals of justice [01:42.22] [01:43.27]Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent [01:48.13] [01:51.27]Sleeping under plastic stars glued to ceiling [01:54.26] [01:54.77]Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine every morning [02:00.10] [02:03.44]But we gave them hell [02:04.56] [02:05.38]But we gave them hell [02:06.60] [02:07.34]But we gave them hell [02:08.59] [02:11.42]But we gave them hell [02:12.64] [02:13.42]But we gave them hell [02:14.60] [02:15.40]But we gave them hell [02:16.58] [02:19.69]There's a height beyond skyscrapers [02:21.71]There's a distance beyond the freeway [02:24.11] [02:27.65]More than pictures in a magazine [02:30.58]More than tragedy in a rock and roll song [02:34.24] [02:35.01]It's more than actions you know are safe to make [02:38.12] [02:38.92]It's more than money could ever buy [02:41.93] [02:42.89]Are we living to work and die in American cities [02:47.35]And working to live and die in American cities [02:51.20]And dying for what we worked
