we don’t bleed when we don’t fight
go ahead go ahead
throw your arms in the air tonight
we don’t bleed when we don’t fight
go ahead go ahead
lose our shirts in the fire

what makes you think im enjoying being led to the flood
we got another thing comin undone
we got another thing comin’ undone
thats taking us over
thats taking forever
