Everybody Let's Go

Hey ho everybody lets go
Come step step step
 a little with me
It’s time we all went on a field trip
Just you and me
Hey ho everybody lets go

Lets go back before that attitude
 before kids got gang banging tattoos
Before “oops there goes reality”
And we knew about gravity.

Hey ho everybody lets go

I got a time machine in my pocket
Yeah it’s a little broke
Got holes in it
cause who remembers every trip
Every minute of life when you’re tripping just to stay alive
No it aint no joke or just me saying
Ha ha look we’ve all struggled this lifetime
But there’s something more when you’ve gone lower
Than the acceptable low
When you know what it feels to hold a knife
Metal biting into the sides of your throat
The scratch of the noose waiting for you at high noon
Cause that bullet just wont do
Can’t leave that mess on moms carpet
No red stains or lasting memories to leave behind you yo
Hey ho, no it aint no joke just for the living
Come on everybody let’s go

Grab my hand if you know what we’re saying
That’s right I said we, weren’t you listenin'?
Cause it aint just you and me that been down this hard road
We’ve all thought of ways to make life better
There’s no fairytale that’s been fed at bedtime
Sorry if that ruins your plans or nightlife
You probably already know though
So come on back to reality
Those pill pushing poppers aint gonna help
Nope it just aint a fairytale
Hey ho come one, come all, let’s GO!

There’s a whole bunch of us who walk this road
Forwards to recovery
Backwards to misery
Doesn’t matter we’re all the same
Skin flesh and bones
All got mistakes to make
we’re all deaf from time to time
Don’t let anyone tell you what’s wrong or right
Live by your heart and you’ll make it here
Hear those stories true
Ringing loud and clear
Not a gunshot to the head
But that in survival there is HOPE!

Hey ho everybody let’s go!

Yeah we all got the pops that didn’t turn out to be a hero
No mother who could do it all and never shed a tear
All got some baggage from a former lover
Enough shattered and broken hearts
To make a stained glass museum
Yeah we all got the hard truth and regrets
Life aint no fairytale fed to us by parents unreal

Been called names by our former peers
Bullies pushing and tearing us apart
One more black eye don’t make it right
Playing the name game don’t change how it is
Call someone a faggot, hoe, bastard doesn’t matter
We’re all human, love, breathe, live, and die
Playing Russian roulette with feelings just aint right
Come on everybody let’s go,
Leave the bullies and pozers behind
Not worth a second thought
Two years time won’t know “who was that guy”
Let’s leave the bullies behind,
Don’t let them take your life.
Hey ho, everybody lets go!

Hey ho everybody lets go

Time to get outta here
Time to leave the shit behind
Yeah I got a time machine with holes
But who cares about the past
It’s a dog with no bite
Don’t give it the teeth to eat you
away from your rights
Come on grab my hand
Time to walk this so called lonely road
Hey ho everybody lets go
Meet you on ninth street
Where we rock out to feel the beat
In our hearts and the souls of our feet   (who needs shoes anyway?)
Meet you at the crossroads tonight
Where we get high on life
We’re all walking together
Through this storm called strife

It aint no fairytale, no.

Hey ho, everybody lets go.

(Life is worth living, and yes there is hope, let’s go find it, walk this road…..together?)
