Lyrics for We're Gonna Take The World

Open up your ears my friend I'll tell you a story that never ends About the band that plays for you now It started back in '91 started playin' just for fun and couldn't stop ourselves, didn't know how Then we began playing shows And kids started tapping their toes and people kept askin' for more And even though we really sucked We kept it up, didn't give a fuck 'Cause that's what the music is for We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl Then a man from Hollywood He said to sign, he said we should But we were to drunk to respond "You'll be so rich" yeah said the man "you'll get a bus and leave the van" but we were too punk to move on So we went back on the road And kids kept on coming to shows We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer And so it goes, we'll never stop We'll tour 'til we reach the top We'll tour 'til the end of our years...
