TOO LOUD FOR FOLK (TOO WEIRD FOR METAL)

[Intro ] Stomp it once. Stomp it twice. Tune it wrong Let it bite. [Verse 1 ] They said pick a lane, pick a sound, Keep it clean, keep your head down, But the banjo hit a power chord, And something kicked the barn door in. Tried to write a song that fit, Folded neat, tied up tight, But the kick drum shook the floorboards, And the night said “let it fight.” [Verse 2] We don’t whisper, we don’t blend, We don’t know how this thing ends, Got a foot in the fire, a hand in the air, If it’s too much noise ...... we’re already there. Call it folk, call it wrong, Call it metal gone off the rails, If the crowd starts moving with us, That’s the only truth that stays. [Pre-Chorus ] We tried to play it safe Safe never shook the ground So we turned it up ...... [CHORUS ] Too loud for folk...... Too weird for metal...... Turn it up till it makes sense now! Female: Wrong stage, right noise...... Male: No map, no handle...... Both: If it hits hard, we’re home now! (HEY! HEY! ) [Verse 3 ] Strings snap back, amps grow teeth Harmony cuts through disbelief If it breaks, we play it louder [BREAKDOWN] (crowd vocals) TOO LOUD! ...... FOR FOLK TOO WEIRD! ...... FOR METAL (banjo riff alone for one bar → full band SLAM) [Bridge ] We don’t fit in the lines they drew So we burned them down and sang it through If this is wrong—it’s right tonight [FINAL CHORUS ] Too loud for folk...... Too weird for metal...... Turn it up till the doubt backs down! Wrong stage, right noise...... Lost but level...... If it feels real, don’t turn around! (HEY! HEY! ) [Outro ]
