Lyrics
[Chorus] Just close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can But we're not doing it for money, doing it for money Doing it for money, doing it for the money [Verse 1] Is it wrong to write the rules? We gotta strike a match and light the fuse And now I'm never looking back It's time to leave the future in the past [Pre-Chorus] I said it doesn't matter where I go, I am Calling all the poets into battle, I am Shouting to the world, let 'em know that we won't Be afraid to step into the fight when we can't see the light [Chorus] So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can But we're not doing it for money, doing it for money Doing it for money, doing it for the money [Verse 2] Well, if you're down, then soldier up You better learn to shoot or learn to duck There's no retreat and no escape If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake [Pre-Chorus] I said it doesn't matter where I go, I am Calling all the prophets into battle, I am Never gonna change who I am, I won't Bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes I said, it doesn't matter where I go, I am Staring down the barrel of a gun, we are Shouting to the world, let 'em know that we are Not afraid to step into the fight when you can't see the light [Chorus] So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can But we're not doing it for money, doing it for money Doing it for money, doing it for the money [Bridge] Well, it's a silicon rush, and I'm addicted I don't understand that when it starts, I can't switch Saying what I won't do, well, pleasure comes as pain too But mostly it's an afterthought, and it's slowly coming after you [Chorus] So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time Maybe we lost our minds We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can But we're not doing it for money, doing it for money Doing it for money, doing it for the money
