Spiked Lemonade Revolution

 


I may have written this for a band to sing,
or maybe I just wrote it for me.

Maybe it’s for the kids in dirty Vans,
or those reppin’ spiked Converse hi tops.

To the ones sipping ten dollar lemonades
 in the merch line?  This is for you. 
              This is your anthem. 

Indoctrinated, you know the lifestyle is law.
Be kind, be generous, and always go hard. 

For the kids with patches and liberty spikes
who mind the pit and the fallen?

To the ones sipping ten dollar lemonades
 in the merch line?  This is for you. 
              This is your anthem. 

Spiked with music you hear the fine print,
no need for drugs that hard edge just hits.

False flags can’t hang when a guitar shreds,
it branded the rules right on to our hands.

To the others sipping ten dollar lemonades
 in the merch line?  
        This is for me and this is for you. 
                You know what to do.
                  This is our anthem.
