lyrics

When you were young, your momma told you son, "Stay intrepid, but hold your tongue. Because if you get arrested, you won't be loved. But don't give up."

Because there's a battle you should fight. Good and evil. Wrong and right. And the people in the night ain't looking up.

Because it's not whether you win
Or hang your head in shame
It's not whether you win or lose
It's how you play the game

The storm rolled through and then it washed away the black and white. It left us grey. The rain turned light into a colored haze. What took so long?

I laugh at the poets and the fools. Make some love. Break some rules. You've got to look above her precious jewels - the Queen was wrong.

It's not whether you win
Or hang your head in shame
It's not whether you win or lose
It's how you play the game
