All over London, England young lines take the old lines on
The weight of never making any difference almost gone
And it's a headache being right when everybody wants to
Jump on you the first time that you're wrong
Across the nation every sports bar turns the pregame on
And every regular is sneering like we don't belong
No it's not true I played a lot of baseball in my younger days
One day the diamonds were all gone

Why can't we throw them in the faces that say we may not survive
Why can't we cruise the night alive? You drive.
