(Chorus) This is the last song! This is the last stand We’re going out fighting, guitar in our hand (Intro) They said this wouldn't last the weekend They said we'd burn out before the end We took the damage, kept the scars And we wore 'em like medals in the dark. (Pre−Verse) You ready LET'S GO (Verse1) Yeah, we got the keys to a rusted-out van Ran on coffee and adrenaline across this promised land Slept on floors and chased the phantom high With cheap guitars and a look in every eye ready to defy. We learned the rules just to tear them apart Wrote every honest lyric from a stubborn, beating heart We’re not the new kings, we’re the ones who survived Still running on the fumes of being alive (Pre−Chorus) They said, "Don't sign that paper," they said, "The trend is done!" But tonight, under these lights, we're only getting started, son (Chorus) This is the last song! This is the last stand We’re going out fighting, guitar in our hand Light up the venue! Scream it out loud We are the noise that they can't drown out in the crowd This is our clozer! This is the truth We spent every damn second chasing back our youth (Verse2) We never asked for permission, we just broke the lock Played every show like it was the last moment on the clock For every scraped knee, for every lonely street We built a fortress with a crashing punk-rock beat The critics hate it, but the kids, they understand 'Cause this sound is the lifeline in a world of sinking sand We don't need a pedestal, don't need a golden crown Just this moment right here before the lights go down (Pre−Chorus) They said, "Don't sign that paper," they said, "The trend is done!" But tonight, under these lights, we're only getting started, son (Chorus) This is the last song! This is the last stand We’re going out fighting, guitar in our hand Light up the venue! Scream it out loud We are the noise that they can't drown out in the crowd This is our clozer! This is the truth We spent every damn second chasing back our youth (Bridge) We don't need a curtain call We just need the final We didn't change the message when the fashion changed the score We're the promise we made to ourselves, right outside the door (Chorus) This is the last song! This is the last stand We’re going out fighting, guitar in our hand Light up the venue! Scream it out loud We are the noise that they can't drown out in the crowd This is our clozer! This is the truth We spent every damn second chasing back our youth
