[Intro] [Band tuning up, crowd noise rising] One, two (yeah!) [Verse 1] Boots on the curb black leather and cheap cologne Neighbors yelling "turn it down" through the phone We just laugh stack the amps to the sky If trouble’s coming then it’s coming tonight [Pre-Chorus] Keys in the car with the seats laid back Hearts like matches begging for a strike Sirens in the distance we don’t think twice We were born for the burn for the bright, bright lights [Chorus] We’re louder than the night (can’t shut us down) Hands up, hearts on fire we own this town Kids in the back sing it right on cue [Children’s choir] Louder than the night we’re breaking all the rules (hey! hey!) Louder than the night we’re breaking all the rules [Verse 2] Sneak past the fence to the old football stands Warm cheap drinks cold rings on our hands Paint on our jackets names of every lost king We’re the next in line hear the crown start to sing [Pre-Chorus] Flash of a badge at the edge of the field We toast the sky we don’t bargain or yield Life’s too short for the "please" and "please don’t" If they say "you can’t" we just scream out "we won’t!" [Chorus] We’re louder than the night (can’t shut us down) Hands up, hearts on fire we own this town Kids in the back sing it right on cue [Children’s choir] Louder than the night we’re breaking all the rules (oh, oh!) Louder than the night we’re breaking all the rules [Bridge] Bare feet on the roof city buzzing below Every wrong turn we took brought us here to this glow If this is all we get we’ll spend it in one shot Turn every "maybe later" to a loud "why not?" [Instrumental] [Half-time groove, melodic guitar solo soaring over choir “oh-oh”s] [Chorus] We’re louder than the night (can’t shut us down) Hands up, hearts on fire we own this town Kids in the back sing it like it’s true [Children’s choir] Louder than the night it’s me and them and you (hey! hey!) Louder than the night we’re breaking all the rules [Outro] Louder than the night (one more round!) Louder than the night (sing it loud!) [Children’s choir] Louder than the night Louder than the night
