Some shoot to get high
Some drink to get numb
To dead then inside
Of the world that we have known
When were down and feeling weak
We've gotta be the ones
Who say we want more
We've gotta be
The ones who hold ourselves
To a higher code
Than we've ever known
Cuz if we want to break
The cycle we have known
We have to take the chance
Of being something more
And I know it feels like shit cuz
It's all we think of and I
Know we feel so fucking weak but
It's just stuck in our minds
And we're choosing to stay in our own way
We've gotta be
The ones who hold ourselves
To a higher code
Than we've ever known
If your gonna be a better you
It's only coming from inside yourself
And we just gotta take that chance
Take that first step
Cuz it aint gonna fix itself and
Putting off just puts off better and
There is better that we all have and
We just gotta make it for ourselves
And know we're fucking worth it
So just accept it sucks and
Aim for what you want and
Know this path with pay for itself
In our lives, in value
In love
And choose a better life
Choose the better life
Greg had a record store
Sold a little bit of everything
Metal, indie, and punk rock
And he helped young kids to find
Something better than what they knew
The bands on the fliers on his wall
It could have been so much less
The kids at 1030
Had folks cooking every Sunday
Their living room filled with punks
And we talked about punk rock while
Chopping celery stalks and
Making the soup for Food Not Bombs
They could have been doing something else
And it blows my mind
To see what can transpire
When folks come together
To try to make just a little bit more
Library in Oregon Hill
Sitting in the front room of a house
Shelves filled to the ceiling with radical texts
They'd open the place every week for
Neighborhood folks to meet
Held community workshops on request
They could have done so much less
Punk house in Barton Heights
Murals on the bricks outside
Folks on the porch
Guns and scanners in hand
Copwatching the police
Opening up the community
Holding open hours for neighborhood kids
They could have done anything else
And it blows my mind
To see what can transpire
When folks come together
To try to make just a little bit more
And it's inspiring to me
To try to be more than me
And it lit a fire in me
To help folks come together
To make something good
