lyrics

At night when I’m sleepin my dreams they haunt me.
They’re coming for me well I can feel it’s breath on the back of my neck.
Look after all my friends. Don’t let the end disregard.
That I’m having the best time of my life.

I’m not dying here!
I’ve got more important things to do than that.
I’m not dying here!
From this angle it just looks like that.

Hate’s not my message. Hold your brother up high.
But if he destroys your heart then you gotta get that motherfucker back.
Make sure that we’re all ok don’t take the stress cause it makes it hard
To, have the best time of your life.

I’m not dying here!
I’ve got more important things to do than that.
I’m not dying here!
From this angle it just looks like that.

(Oh man everybody’s talkin every bodys got their head down
All this negativity going around I can’t do this I can’t do that.
I got all these bills to pay man I gotta wake up at six in the morning
I got three kids man they always wake up crying, and hungry.
Looking at their dad, wanting him to them support man.
And God wants ten percent. I can’t find a job,
And they say the worlds gonna end in a couple of years.
Man all this stress and all this stuff I just can’t take it man I just can’t take it
I gotta find a place that I was happy inside maybe when I was a kid many years ago
In a place I didn’t even know about, but I know I’m gonna find I, I’m gonna find it.
I’m gonna cast doubt right out. I’m gonna keep on dreaming, I’m gonna dream, I’m gonna believe
We’re gonna dream, we’re gonna believe, we’re gonna rock-n-roll.)

Woho woho woho…. Woho woho woho…. Woho woho woho…(keep singing in background until the end)
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again guys.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again!

Woho woho woho…. Woho woho whoo…. Woho woho woho…
