[Verse 1]
Alarm at six
Still broke by ten
Same old town
Same dead end
Boss man laughs
Clock hits nine
Says “be grateful”
While he steals our time
[Chorus]
Life’s not fair, we learned that young
Got kicked down, bit our tongue
We’re done staying quiet, done staying small
We’re gonna fight for our own
Or we don’t live at all (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Bills stack up
Like flyers on the wall
“Dream big, kid”
Then they watch you fall
They sell hope
On a payment plan
I want more
Than the back of the van
[Chorus]
Life’s not fair, we learned that young
Got kicked down, bit our tongue
We’re done staying quiet, done staying small
We’re gonna fight for our own
Or we don’t live at all (whoa-oh)
[Bridge]
I don’t want their plastic crown
Their fake applause, their scripted town
I want scraped knees, busted teeth
Laughing in the cheap seats
If this is all, then take it back
I’d rather burn than fade to black (hey!)
[Chorus]
Life’s not fair, we learned that young
Got kicked down, bit our tongue
We’re done staying quiet, done staying small
We’re gonna fight for our own
Or we don’t live at all
[Chorus]
Life’s not fair, so raise that fist
Name your dream, aim and miss
Then get up bleeding, answer the call
We’re gonna fight for our own
Yeah, we want it all (we want it all)
