What We Worked For - Against Me![00:00:00]
Lost the confidence to write a song[00:00:19]
So I found three simple chords[00:00:24]
And held them together with my weak voice[00:00:26]
On an out of tune guitar my father gave to me[00:00:30]
And may Elvis turn in his grave[00:00:40]
And Les Paul kiss my dirty, calloused fingers[00:00:44]
And may the likes of this song never make one f**king dollar[00:00:50]
Leave it for a demo tape to be played until it's broken,[00:00:56]
Then remembered only for what it was[00:00:59]
That we gave them hell[00:01:06]
That we gave them hell[00:01:08]
That we gave them hell[00:01:11]
That we gave them hell[00:01:16]
That we gave them hell[00:01:19]
That we gave them hell[00:01:22]
To my friends and enemies who could have been anything[00:01:27]
Titans and heroes who found survival in cause and effect[00:01:31]
Behind counters, behind windows, striving just to be people[00:01:35]
With bitter ideals of justice[00:01:39]
Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent[00:01:43]
Sleeping under plastic stars glued to ceiling[00:01:51]
Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine every morning[00:01:54]
But we gave them hell[00:02:03]
But we gave them hell[00:02:05]
But we gave them hell[00:02:07]
But we gave them hell[00:02:11]
But we gave them hell[00:02:13]
But we gave them hell[00:02:15]
There's a height beyond skyscrapers[00:02:19]
There's a distance beyond the freeway[00:02:21]
More than pictures in a magazine[00:02:27]
More than tragedy in a rock and roll song[00:02:30]
It's more than actions you know are safe to make[00:02:35]
It's more than money could ever buy[00:02:38]
Are we living to work and die in American cities[00:02:42]
And working to live and die in American cities[00:02:47]
And dying for what we worked[00:02:51]
