so, you think you shmucks can change the world?

lyrics

When I was younger, there was a hero in my house
and when he opened up his mouth we listened to the words that came out
and he sang of bombs falling cross the shore and he sang of how he was so damn bored
but there was one thing he sang that always caught my eye

He sang, Death or Glory just another story
and I always wondered what that meant
Death or Glory, just another story
and I always thought that was as cool as it gets

So I grew up fast and I grew up hard, I wrote a few songs on the guitar
not before long I knew this was the life for me
So i kept on writing the things I thought
I found a few friends who'd help me go far
a bass to ground me down, and drums to keep the beat

Death or Glory, that'll be our story
We'll make people listen, we will get them in the streets
Death or Glory, that will be our story
we're gonna burn the whole thing down to make you move your feet

So i went home to show this hero what i've learned
that i was chasing death or glory like the stories I'd heard
he told me, i didn't know what i was asking for
things don't always end up alright when you ask to join the war
so will you stay in the crosshairs, will you storm the shore, will you play the show when you've got nothing more
thats death or glory not the gimmicks that you've heard
it's blood, sweat, emotion not three old words

Death or Glory, just another story
and I always wondered what that meant
Death or Glory is just another story
that I don't need to show that I have nothing left.
