I gave it all my energy
My younger days consumed
For you
Uh huh
I can’t believe I’m saying this right now
But we’re through
Yes it’s true
Uh huh

I finally found a place to call my own
I’ve made it through on my way back home
It took some time to learn to let you go
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
To that place again

We were all sitting on top of the hill
Had a good run
Ink dried out for the quill
Everybody moved on
But I’m awfully still
Probably cause I’m heart broken
From the art that we built
We’re prolly one of the greatest bands
That will never be known
Remember when our music
Changed a life at a show
When our passion was pure
On fire, unhindered
We could face any giant
All facts, no printer
My, my
What a time to be alive
I might be a bitter guy
Who can’t surrender his pride
I promise it was far from delusion
For some a pipe dream
But for us a revolution
Don’t forget the one time we almost got signed
But got rejected cause they couldn’t market our essence
We don’t need to look to labels to affirm us
What they missed out on then doesn’t concern us
I gave it all my energy
My younger days consumed
For you
Uh huh
I can’t believe I’m saying this right now
But we’re through
Yes it’s true
Uh huh

I finally found a place to call my own
I’ve made it through on my way back home
It took some time to learn to let you go
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
To that place again

Lately I’ve been laughing at the corporations who care
In the world of smoke and mirrors they don’t want you to stare
Cause if we dig a little deeper we’ll see the stars aligning
I’m finding you care more for your bottom line
Not surprised
The revolution won’t be televised
Virtue signal ‘til you cross your t’s and dot the i’s
I was taught to minimize so you don’t know us
Now a target’s on our back, didn’t think we wouldn’t notice
The ex-POTUS encouraged the next onus
To see our grandmothers as your f***ing opponent
I tried to stay neutral like the ones in the church
I tried to practice what I preach, but our community’s hurting
And I can’t shake this feeling we’re this necessary evil
On your bad day I pray you see us as people
Why wait for elite ones to speak for us
In this deep void our meek voice is enormous
I gave it all my energy
My younger days consumed
For you
Uh huh
I can’t believe I’m saying this right now
But we’re through
Yes it’s true
Uh huh

I finally found a place to call my own
I’ve made it through on my way back home
It took some time to learn to let you go
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
To that place again
