You Mess With One of Us v2

[Sequence: Gang Intro | Heavy Guitar Intro | Verse 1 | Pre-Chorus | Chorus | Verse 2 | Chorus | Guitar Break | Verse 3 | Breakdown | Bridge | Final Chorus | Outro] [Gang Intro | Spoken] [Male Vocal] Same rules as always. [Gang] NOBODY MESSES WITH THE CREW! [Male Vocal] You mess with one— [Gang] YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! [Male Vocal] Still mean it? [Gang] DAMN RIGHT! [Male Vocal] Anybody wanna actually fight? [Silence] [Male Voice] My shoulder's kinda— [Heavy Guitar Riff] [Verse 1] Back when we were seventeen we thought we owned this town. Six idiots in beat-up cars with all the windows down. We didn't need a reason. Hell, half the time we didn't have one. If somebody messed with Billy... Everybody came running. Thirty-five years later... Same boys. Same rule. Little slower getting there now... But we still show up. [Pre-Chorus] You call one... You get six. Eventually. [Backing Vocal] Traffic was terrible! [Another] I had to get gas! [Another] I couldn't find my glasses! [Male Vocal] But we got here! [Gang] DAMN RIGHT! [Chorus | Huge Heavy Guitars] YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US! YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! That's how it's always been! From stupid kids with nothing to lose... To stupid old men with reading glasses! We don't run! [Backing Vocal] CAN'T! [Male Vocal] We don't hide! [Backing Vocal] WHY WOULD WE? [Male Vocal] When one goes down... [Gang] WE'RE BY HIS SIDE! [Male Vocal] Though these days when one goes down... [Backing Vocal] HELP HIM UP SLOW! [Gang] YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US! YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! [Heavy Guitar Hook] [Verse 2] Dave called me last Tuesday. Said, "Boys... I got a situation." Within ten minutes everybody's texting. "What happened?" "Who did it?" "Where you at?" Turns out some guy parked across his driveway. [Band Stops] [Male Vocal] ... That's it? [Dave] He's been there twenty minutes. [Male Vocal] Did you ask him to move? [Dave] Not yet. [Male Vocal] Jesus Christ, Dave. [Band Returns] So Billy went outside and knocked upon the door. Said, "Excuse me, buddy, could you move your car?" Guy said, "Oh, sorry." Moved it. [Pause] Crisis over. [Backing Vocal] Still counts. [Chorus | Heavy Guitars] YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US! YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! That's how it's always been! We used to come looking for trouble... Now we'd rather talk it out like men! [Backing Vocal] MOSTLY! [Male Vocal] We don't run! [Backing Vocal] KNEES! [Male Vocal] We don't hide! [Backing Vocal] BACK! [Male Vocal] If one needs help... [Gang] WE'VE GOT HIS BACK! [Male Vocal] Just don't call too late... [Backing Vocal] I'M IN BED BY TEN! [Guitar Solo | Loud, Melodic, Dirty] [Verse 3 | Bass-Driven] We've buried some parents. Watched kids grow. Lost a little hair. Got a little slow. We've sat in waiting rooms without saying much. Helped somebody move. Fixed somebody's truck. Loaned money we never asked about again. Answered phones at three a.m. And every now and then one of us will say... "You remember when we thought we were tough?" [Backing Vocal] Thought? [Male Vocal] Okay, Frank. Settle down. [Breakdown | Drums and Bass] [Male Vocal] You need a ride? [Gang] WE'RE THERE! [Male Vocal] Need a hand? [Gang] WE'RE THERE! [Male Vocal] Truck won't start? [Gang] WE'RE THERE! [Male Vocal] Moving Saturday? [Silence] [Male Vocal] Guys? [Gang, Reluctantly] ...We're there. [Male Vocal] That's what I thought. [Bridge | Clean Guitar] Truth is... We ain't that mean anymore. Maybe we never were. We were just young and loud enough to mistake one for the other. But there's one thing the years didn't take. When the phone rings and one of those voices says, "Brother... I need you." Nobody asks why. Nobody keeps score. You just grab your coat... And walk out the door. [Drums Build] Maybe that's what we were trying to say all those years ago. [Heavy Guitars Slam In] [Final Chorus] YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US! YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! Fifty years old and here we come! A little more gray! A little less mean! Still the toughest damn crew you've never seen! We don't need fists! We don't need fights! We learned there's better ways to stand beside your friends at night! But when one goes down... [Gang] WE'RE BY HIS SIDE! [Male Vocal] And if that's getting soft... [Gang] THEN WE'RE SOFT WITH PRIDE! [Male Vocal] Thirty-five years! [Gang] STILL RIGHT HERE! [Male Vocal] Same old boys! [Gang] MORE OR LESS! [All] YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US... YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US! [Outro | Guitar Groove] [Spoken] [Male Vocal] All right. Who's driving? [Voice 2] Not me. Can't see worth a damn at night. [Voice 3] I can't. Took my medication. [Voice 4] My truck's making that noise again. [Dave] I'll drive. [Silence] [Male Vocal] Dave... You backed into a mailbox yesterday. [Dave] Mailbox shouldn't have been there. [Male Vocal] It was attached to your house.
