Standard (EADGBE)

It didn't happen for you

No one wants to hear the truth

Coming from three political queers

Back in the punk rock blues

So you break up the band

And leave us all in tow

And now we got to figure out where to go

Caught it at a rave (Did it fuel your fascination?)

Saw it on my TV (Did it lighten up your load?)

And every fucking DJ (Did you feel affiliated?)

Was telling me I'm free (Like your really had at all)

Free to be a loser (Your taking crosses too high)

Free to be a trend (Were the lights too bright?)

Free to be a backlash over and over and over again

(Was it all over somehow)

You say I'm losing inspiration

One band at a time

Cuz I got know that someone

Somewhere out there

Is singing for our side

(instrumental break)

I come up share the motor and the blues

What we built together we shared that too

And the wind may come and the rain may fall

But we stand together or we don't stand at all

And I say "where are going you to now?"

Now that the door is closed

(Where are you going to now?)

Its the history of survival

Swimming up the stream

Crossing over one dam after another

Until we get to Rock & Roll Heaven's Gate

(Yeah you)

Caught it at a rave (Did it fuel your fascination?)

Saw it on my TV (Did it lighten up your load?)

And every fucking DJ (Did you feel affiliated?)

Was telling me I'm free (Like your really had at all)

Free to be a loser (You're taking crosses too high)

Free to be a trend (Were the lights too bright?)

Free to be a backlash over and over

Until I get to Rock & Roll Heaven's Gate
