We are here to save your life, the fool, the drunk, the child and his wife
We won't let the sun go down, we're gonna chase the demons out of town
Sing it when you feel alone, backwards through the megaphone
Sing it to the ones you love, and the ones you'd like to be rid of
We are here to take the blame, to take the taunts and live the shame
We are here to make you feel, it terrifies you, but it's real
It will keep you up all night, and in the flood of morning light
Spilling out across your room, it will keep you up all night
When you say the words, we'll get there soon
We are here to save your life, the fool, the drunk, the child and his wife
The revolution wasn't bad, we hit the streets with all we had
A tape recording of the sound, of the velvet underground
A K-way jacket torn to shreds, and a dream inside our heads
And after changing everything, they couldn't tell, we couldn't sing
After changing everything, they couldn't tell, we couldn't sing
We couldn't sing, and that changes everything
