The Way

Gotta draw a line, can't sit on the fence all day Despite what the kids may say We'll fight if they don't press play, pretty sure

Gotta make a stand, can't sit on the fence all day Despite what the kids may say We'll fight if they don't press play, this is war

'Cause we're starving We're hungry for more of the good stuff Thirsty for more of the bad stuff When you gonna show us the way?

When you gonna show us the way? When you gonna show us the way? When you gonna show us the way? When you gonna show us the way?

When you gonna show us the way? Ay When you gonna show us the way? Ay When you gonna show us the way? Ay Show me the way to go home The way to home, the way to home

Dream for a silence You won't arrive 'til the lungs don't hurt anymore We praying for a silence They won't arrive until your souls lying down on the floor

Check your in-flight detail And up your street fighting scale We keep going if the lighting fails Hold torch like nightingale

Hard as nails when they sail More exciting tails, holy grail, hey whoa We break bread until the bread turns stale

Let me hear you say ay-yo And eat it up throw it all on the table Check the label, read the dog tags We stand tall but the floor's unstable

I don't know what you been told Outside is pretty damn cold Rise up, we point to the sky You know we're strong from the look in our eye

Gotta draw a line, can't sit on the fence all day Despite what the kids may say We'll fight if they don't press play, pretty sure

Gotta make a stand, can't sit on the fence all day Despite what the kids may say We'll fight if they don't press play, this is war

'Cause we're starving We're hungry for more of the good stuff Thirsty for more of the bad stuff When you gonna show us the way?

When you gonna show us the way? When you gonna show us the way?

When you gonna show us the way? Ay When you gonna show us the way? Ay When you gonna show us the way? Ay Show me the way to go home The way to home, the way to home

You're praying for a silence It won't arrive 'til our lungs don't want anymore You're praying for a silence It won't arrive 'til your son's lying down on the floor
