Frank Turner - Try This At Home lyrics

rate me

Let's inherit the earth, because no one else is taking it.<br />

Come on, do your worst, before the moment's passed.<br />

In bedrooms across England, and all the Western world, <br />

There's posters and there's magazines but the music isn't ours.<br />

Because we write love songs in C, we do politics in G, <br />

We sing songs about our friends in E minor.<br />

So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars:<br />

Come on folks and try this at home.<br />

Let's stop waiting around for someone to patronize us.<br />

Let's hammer out a sound that speaks of where we've been.<br />

Forget about the haircuts, the stupid skinny jeans, <br />

The stampedes and the irony, the media-fed scenes.<br />

Because the only thing that punk rock should ever really mean<br />

Is not sitting round and waiting for the lights to go green, <br />

And not thinking that you're better because you're stood up on a stage.<br />

If you're oh so fucking different then who cares what you have to say?<br />

And there's no such thing as rock stars, there's just people who play music, <br />

And some of them are just like us, and some of them are dicks.<br />

So quick, turn off your stereo, pick up that pen and paper, <br />

You could do much better than some half-arsed skinny English country singer.
