Open up your ears my friend

I'll tell you a story that never ends

About the band that plays for you now

It started back in '91

started playin' just for fun

and couldn't stop ourselves, didn't know how

Then we began playing shows

And kids started tapping their toes

and people kept askin' for more

And even though we really sucked

We kept it up, didn't give a fuck

'Cause that's what the music is for


We're gunna take on the world

Common, Every boy, Every girl

We're gunna take on the world

Common, Every boy, Every girl


Then a man from Hollywood

He said to sign, he said we should

But we were to drunk to respond

"You'll be so rich" yeah said the man

"you'll get a bus and leave the van"

but we were too punk to move on

So we went back on the road

And kids kept on coming to shows

We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer

And so it goes, we'll never stop

We'll tour 'til we reach the top

We'll tour 'til the end of our years...
