Lyrics
Just close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Is it wrong to write the rules? We gotta strike a match and light the fuse ♪ Now I'm never lookin' back It's time to leave the future in the past I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the poets in the battle I am shouting to the world Let 'em know that we won't Be afraid to step into the fight When you can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Well, if you're down then soldier up You better learn to shoot or learn to duck ♪ There's no retreat and no escape If we keep dreamin' while we're wide awake I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the prophets into battle I am never gonna change who I am I won't bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes I said it doesn't matter where I go I am staring down the barrel of a gun We are shouting to the world Let 'em know that we are Not afraid to step into the fight When you can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Well, it's a silicon rush And I'm addicted I don't understand When it starts I can switch Saying what I won't do The pleasure comes as pain, too But mostly it's an afterthought And it's slowly comin' after you So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Just close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Is it wrong to write the rules? We gotta strike a match and light the fuse ♪ Now I'm never lookin' back It's time to leave the future in the past I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the poets in the battle I am shouting to the world Let 'em know that we won't Be afraid to step into the fight When you can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Well, if you're down then soldier up You better learn to shoot or learn to duck ♪ There's no retreat and no escape If we keep dreamin' while we're wide awake I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the prophets into battle I am never gonna change who I am I won't bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes I said it doesn't matter where I go I am staring down the barrel of a gun We are shouting to the world Let 'em know that we are Not afraid to step into the fight When you can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Well, it's a silicon rush And I'm addicted I don't understand When it starts I can switch Saying what I won't do The pleasure comes as pain, too But mostly it's an afterthought And it's slowly comin' after you So close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Just close your eyes We're gonna run this blind We live our lives Yeah, we're not wastin' time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get Get what we can But we're not doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Doin' it for the money Is it wrong to write the rules?
