lyrics

This is a brand new sound tonight
Hold my hand baby, it’ll be alright
Don’t worry about packing, we travel light, we’re
Going downtown going to bring the fight, back to the
Place where it all began when I could
Crawl but I couldn’t stand, I was just a
Kid who was hooked on rock and roll, put on
Elvis or Cash I’d loose control, but that was
Then and this is now, I’m packing on the
Stage trying to make you proud, but I’m just
One man with a killer band, we got songs of truth
Falling out of our hands, so we
Promise that we will never retire
Creating words and lyrics meant to inspire, because
The time is now and the need is dire
To move the herds away from the fire so

Chorus:
I don’t know how it got this way
But this is how it stays
Doesn’t matter what you say
This is our day

This is how we modify the game
Rearrange the face but keep the name
The popculture of shame is in need of an overhaul
Original music is now waiting for the last call
Down at the dance hall, standing proud and tall
Photos of culprits hang on the wall
Those who took this beauty and bled
It’s soul to the floor until we’re standing in red
What about acoustic seduction
We’ve bled it all out and made it mean nothing
No need for talent, the love, or the drive
Just can’t have them working no 9 to 5, so
Excuse me if I critcize, These people’s lives,
But their messages are lies
Take the glasses off your eyes
Realize the truth and vocalize

Chorus

This is how the world is gonna change,
This is the way we turn normal strange
This is to join what’s right and just
This is how we go from life to dust
This is for the search for something more
This is looking to the future at what’s in store
This is the wall that will not break,
This is everything that you and I hate,
This is the feeling of that one long kiss
This is for the good times that you miss
This is the look on your lover’s face
This is the warmth in the human embrace
This is to give hope a little more time
This is how to change the world through rhyme
This is not the end you’ll find
This is how we begin the line

Chorus

This is my dream, this is my life
This is my world, this is my strife
This is my day, this is my start
This is my time, this is my heart
This is my chance, this is my song,
This is my right, this is my wrong,
The righteous path for those who choose it,
This is peace, love, music
