Flatland Boy
[Verse 1]
'Round here we didn't go to war for a cookie cutter house and a bank-owned Ford
We were hopin' for a little bit more than white picket rich livin' credit card poor
'Round here we're all bite no bark, sparkin' up our lighters in the pitch black dark
[Chorus]
Lookin' Johnny Cash middle finger in the sky
Screamin' "revolution" on a six-pack high
Yeah they can kick us around but they can't destroy
The heart of a flatland boy
[Verse 2]
'Round here we didn't get good grades just to pay our dues makin' minimum wage
We're still stingin' been burned before, by a bone-faced liar on a Wall Street floor
'Round here we ain't Rockwell proud, we're a little too jaded, a little too loud
[Chorus]
Lookin' Johnny Cash middle finger in the sky
Screamin' "revolution" on a six-pack high
Yeah they can kick us around but they can't destroy
The heart of a flatland boy
[Verse 3]
And we ain't gonna run, ain't gonna run and hide
And they ain't gonna change, ain't gonna change our minds
Nah we ain't gonna run, ain't gonna run and hide
No they ain't gonna take, ain't gonna take what's mine
[Bridge]
'Round here we're all bite no bark, sparkin' up our lighters in the pitch black dark
[Chorus]
Lookin' Johnny Cash middle finger in the sky
Screamin' "revolution" on a Saturday night
Yeah they can kick us around but they can't destroy
The heart of a flatland boy
'Round here we didn't go to war for a cookie cutter house and a bank-owned Ford
We were hopin' for a little bit more than white picket rich livin' credit card poor
'Round here we're all bite no bark, sparkin' up our lighters in the pitch black dark
[Chorus]
Lookin' Johnny Cash middle finger in the sky
Screamin' "revolution" on a six-pack high
Yeah they can kick us around but they can't destroy
The heart of a flatland boy
[Verse 2]
'Round here we didn't get good grades just to pay our dues makin' minimum wage
