Frank Turner - Try This at Home lyrics
[Frank Turner - Try This at Home lyrics]
Let's inherit the earth 'cause no
One else is taking it come on
Do your worst before the moment's passed
In bedrooms across England and
All the Western world
There's posters and there's magazines but
The music isn't ours
'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
And take up your guitars
And come on, folks and try this at home
Let's stop waiting around for
Someone to patronize us
Let's hammer out a sound that
Speaks of where we've been
Forget about the haircuts
The stupid skinny jeans
The stampedes and the irony
The media-fed scenes
'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
And take up your guitars
And come on, folks and try this at home
Because the only thing that punk
Rock should ever really mean
Is not sitting 'round and waiting for
The lights to go green
And not thinking that you're better 'cause
You're stood up on a stage
If you're oh so fucking different then who
Cares what you have to say?
Because there's no such thing as rock stars
There's just people who play music
And some of them are just like us
And some of them are dicks
So quick, turn off your stereo
Pick up that pen and paper
Yeah, you could do much better
Than some skinny half-arsed
English country singer
'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
And take up your guitars
And come on, folks and try this at home
One else is taking it come on
Do your worst before the moment's passed
In bedrooms across England and
All the Western world
There's posters and there's magazines but
The music isn't ours
'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
And take up your guitars
And come on, folks and try this at home
Let's stop waiting around for
Someone to patronize us
Let's hammer out a sound that
Speaks of where we've been
Forget about the haircuts
The stupid skinny jeans
The stampedes and the irony
The media-fed scenes
'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
And take up your guitars
And come on, folks and try this at home
Because the only thing that punk
Rock should ever really mean
Is not sitting 'round and waiting for
The lights to go green
And not thinking that you're better 'cause
You're stood up on a stage
If you're oh so fucking different then who
Cares what you have to say?
Because there's no such thing as rock stars
There's just people who play music
And some of them are just like us
And some of them are dicks
So quick, turn off your stereo

'Cause we write love songs in C
And we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now
