Reinventing Axl Rose

We want a band that plays loud and hard every night
 And doesn't care how many people are counted at the door
 That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing more
 Than a plate of food and a place to rest
 They'd strike chords that cut like a knife
 It means so much more than t-shirts or a ticket stub
 They'd stop at nothing short of a massacre
 Everyone would leave with the memory that there was no place else in the world and this was where they always belonged
 We would dance like no one was watching, with one fist in the air
 Our arena's just basements and bookstores across an underground America
 With this fire, we could light
 With this fire, we could
 Just gimme a scene where the music is free
 And the beer is not the life of the party
 And there's no need to shit talk or impress
 Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon
 And every promise that's made and bragged
 Is meant, if not kept
 We'd do it all because we have to, not because we know why
 Beyond a gender, race, and class, we could find what really holds us back
 Let's make everybody sing
 That they are the beginning and ending of everything
 That we all are stronger
 Than everything they taught us that we should fear
