We gotta strike a match to light the fuse Now I’m never looking back It’s time to leave the future in the past Pre-Chorus I said it doesn’t matter where I go I am Calling all the poets into battle I am Shouting to the world let them know that we won’t Be afraid to step into the fight When we can’t see the light So close your eyes We’re gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah we’re not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We’re gonna get gonna get Get what we can But we’re not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Verse 2: Well if you’re down then soldier up You better learn to shoot or learn to duck There’s no retreat and no escape If we keep dreaming while we’re wide awake Pre-Chorus I said it doesn’t matter where I go I am Calling all the prophets into battle I am Never going to change who I am I won’t Bend under the pressure when my back’s on the ropes I said it doesn’t matter where I go I am Staring down the barrel of a gun we are Shouting to the world let them know that we are Not afraid to step into the fight When you can’t see the light So close your eyes We’re gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah we’re not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We’re gonna get gonna get Get what we can But we’re not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Bridge: Well it’s a silicon rush And I’m addicted I don’t understand When it starts I can’t switch Saying what I won’t do Well pleasure comes as pain too But mostly it’s an afterthought And it’s slowly coming after you So close your eyes We’re gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah we’re not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We’re gonna get gonna get Get what we can But we’re not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money
