Reinventing Axl Rose Lyrics - Against Me!

We want a band that plays loud and hard every night 

That 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 would mean 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 just basements 

and bookstores across an underground America 

With this fire we could light 

Just gimme a scene where the music is free 

And the beer is not the life of the party 

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
