I Want a Mosh

Lately I've heard some people going around
 Saying punk shows are too rough and we need to tone it down
 But where's the catharsis at a calm and quiet show?
 We need the pushing to remind us we're alive, you know
 And yeah, I came to make friends
 What better way than to suffer together?
 Because it's not about the dance, it's about the mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 I've heard that some kids think they can play an open mic
 And get discovered by a label and get rich overnight
 But me, I'm looking forward to the scars I can collect
 Then I can sing about them later and get all the respect
 And sure, I'd like success for my part
 But if I found some I'd find some way to make things harder
 Because it's not about the dance, it's about the mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 OK, maybe that was me at seventeen
 Happy at the bottom of a pile-up fallen on a hardcore vocalist
 Maybe now that's not exactly what I mean
 A decade older I could do with a
 little more dance and a little less mosh
 But just a little
 Because it's not about the dance, it's about the mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 It's not about the dance, it's about the mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
 I want a mosh, I want a mosh
