One More Scene Lyrics

when what we're saying doesn't mean a thing
this is not better than a dance club scene
because the things I heard at a show one night
significantly improved my life
Billy loved guitar when he was 16
now he's selling his soul for a drum machine
86'd his 6 string for no content
all the fire in his heart has already been spent
we're smiling faces dancing in a vacuum
might as well be standing in an empty room

you can gag the mouth that first uttered the phrase
but it'll just reinforce the mind that it shapes
because the words of a poet can do more damage
than a 100 guns could ever manage
I believe in the people with who I stand
in a world I'll never fully understand
cuz the things I've learned that've made me strong
for the most part came from 2 minute songs
and when you fall down
who's gonna pick you up
when every shows just another stage to jump off
I'm not saying we should make up any rules
and I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm preaching to you
cuz at it's best punk's about communication and change
but never everyone thinking the exact same way
because a room full of people with minds to speak
can be so much more than a music scene
