Lyrics
Shine your light so bright, yeah
I'm a prowling, snarling, opinionated brat
Just a little fella by the leader of the pack
You can't censor me, I will never shut up
Attitude like a virgin, I don't give up
No, I won't be shaped and I won't be moulded
When I'm revolting, well, you're revolted
So, who's to say which way's suitable?
I may not be pretty but goddamn I'm beautiful
If I waste my time singing love songs
If that's the line drawn, I'm on the side that's wrong
My heart is open, tapping this vibration
Living my life like it's a celebration
I'm living free now, painting up the walls
Dancing in the street, grabbing life by the balls
If I can't dream beyond the midnight bells
Well, you call it freedom, I call it something else
'Cause if I can't dance, if I can't sing
Then I got, got no contribution
'Cause if I can't laugh, if I can't love
Then I can't, can't find your solution
Then it's not my revolution
(I'm simply dancing to the beat of my heart)
No, it's not my revolution
(Trying to make a fire out of a spark), no
It's not like I was born with this rage
See, I was just a street kid who was small for his age
Sleeping amongst the rats and the roaches
Homeless in the alleyway with a shadow approaches
I met some punks who took me to their squat
Said I could stay with them, in the room with the rot
I heard their music for the first time, it blew my mind
They spoke to me, man, I studied every line
I swapped a bag of green for an acoustic guitar
Wrote a bunch of songs and screamed them all from my heart
Couldn't get a gig so we opened up our own spots
Building a sound system and changed all the locks
I never let anything get in my way
I came from nothing and I'm solid as a rock to this day
So, do you really think that you can bring me down?
I'll be the last man standing my ground
'Cause if I can't dance, if I can't sing
Then I got, got no contribution
'Cause if I can't laugh, if I can't love
Then I can't, can't find your solution
Then it's not my revolution
(I'm simply dancing to the beat of my heart)
No, it's not my revolution
(Trying to make a fire out of a spark)
If I can't step outside the line
(That's all we need to bring the sound to the darkness)
Then it's not my revolution
(No, no, no it's not, no)
It's not my revolution
Not my revolution
It's not my revolution
Not my revolution
We can still dare to live, love and dream
If we believe that we got to fight to be free
So if I can't dance, sing and fall in love
Then it ain't what I'm fighting for and it never was
'Cause if I can't dance, if I can't sing
(If I can't dance, if I can't sing)
Then I got, got no contribution
(What's my contribution?)
'Cause if I can't laugh, if I can't love
(Yeah, trust me)
Then I can't, can't find your solution
(No solution)
Then it's not my revolution
(I'm simply dancing to the beat of my heart)
No, it's not my revolution
(Trying to make a fire out of a spark)
If I can't step outside the line
(That's all we need to bring the sound to the darkness)
Then it's not my revolution
(No, no, no it's not, no)
I live this, I breathe this
You can't hold me back, I came from nothing
I dare you to shut me up
This fire still burns, shine your light so bright, yeah
Forget the fear
