lyrics

Front porch kings and queens
Smokin' cloves in your skinny jeans
Painting pictures of hollow dream
They got answers, they don't need a thing
With a drink in hand
Tellin' tales of how they rule the land
Standin' proud in their pop rock band
Might I have the crumbs beneath your feet?

I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna run
Unless it's head first into you
Steady as the sun, we have just begun
To take up arms with the avenue
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna run
Unless it's head first into you
Beat down silly, no pennies, dead broke
But I won't stand and choke in your secondhand smoke

Front porch kings and queens
If you're the face of this music scene
Than I guess this ain't home to me
There's an end and you are not the means
But you can think you are
You can fake it with your homemade scars
Talk of how you really journeyed far
But rock'n'roll ain't gifted how you think

I know, I know that the greater good's
outside the hood of the avenue
And I know, I know that the puppets on
strings can't dance and sing how they want to
I know, I know that we won't change
for the sake of fame just like they do
And I know the road and I walk it bold
Head strong, no guts, no glory
