Anti-Flag - This Is the First Night lyrics

This is the first night of
The rest of our lives i can't help wonder
"How is it we're still alive?"
Welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives oh yeah, and I said
Welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives

We stayed up all night long, laughing
Singing in the streets oh yeah, ya know
The Clash, Ramones, The Pogues
Our voices hoarse, our bodies weak
And ready for sleep
Lean against me, wipe your bloodshot eyes
As I wipe mine and from these rooftops
We'll watch the sun rise
Ain't this the life?

Yeah, it's the first night of
The rest of our lives i can't help wonder
"How is it we're still alive?"


Welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives

With just a half tank of gas, 150 miles to go
No cash, no food
We turned the engine off every
Time we went down hill
And it's on with the show
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Oh no, I don't all I know is that I am alive
I'm really alive

And it's the first night of
The rest of our lives i can't help wonder
"How is it we're still alive?"
Welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives oh yeah, and I said
Welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives

We heard "You there!" and
Jumped from the train, ran up the tracks
All the while you screaming back
"Kiss my ass!" we're living our lives
I'm livin' and yeah and I'm doin' fine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm doing fine!

And it's the first night of
The rest of our lives i can't help wonder
"How is it we're still alive?"
Oh, welcome to the first night of the rest
Let's hope this night of nights
Won't be our last
Yeah, welcome to the first night of
The rest of our lives oh, oh, goodbye
