Lyrics
Just close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wastin' time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
But we're not doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Is it wrong to write the rules?
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
Now I'm never lookin' back
It's time to leave the future in the past
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am calling all the poets in the battle
I am shouting to the world
Let 'em know that we won't
Be afraid to step into the fight
When you can't see the light
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wastin' time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
But we're not doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Well, if you're down then soldier up
You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
There's no retreat and no escape
If we keep dreamin' while we're wide awake
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am calling all the prophets into battle
I am never gonna change who I am
I won't bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am staring down the barrel of a gun
We are shouting to the world
Let 'em know that we are
Not afraid to step into the fight
When you can't see the light
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wastin' time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
But we're not doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Well, it's a silicon rush
And I'm addicted
I don't understand
When it starts I can switch
Saying what I won't do
The pleasure comes as pain, too
But mostly it's an afterthought
And it's slowly comin' after you
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wastin' time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
But we're not doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
Doin' it for the money
