Sing It

We were born in a backstreet sunrise Cheap shoes, big dreams, eyes like a flare Kicked dust off the days that tied us We're not the ones who learned to be scared All the small-town prophets Said "keep your head low, son." But we lit a match in our pockets look now, the night's undone Stand up, shine on—sing it loud tonight Hands up, light on—set the dark alight We don't need permission, we just need the sky Stand up, shine on—watch the stars reply Neon rain on a broken pavement Cheap beer crowns for kings of the lane Every "no" was a secret pavement Leading us straight to the wide-open main They said "hold your tongue" We said "hold this flame" Stand up, shine on—sing it loud tonight Hands up, light on—set the dark alight We don't need permission, we just need the sky Stand up, shine on—watch the stars reply Na—na—na—na—na—na—hey Na—na—na—na—shine on, hey Stand up—shine on—stand up—shine on Sing it peel it Rotten banana banana
