Open up your ears my friend I'll tell you a story that never ends About the band that plays for you now
It started back in 91 Started playin just for fun And couldnt stop ourselves, didn't know how
Then we began playing shows And kids started tapping their toes And people kept askin' for more And even though we really sucked We kept it up, didn't give a fuck Cause that's what the music is for
We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl
Then a man from Hollywood He said to sign, he said we should But we were to drunk to respond
You'll be so rich yeah said the man You'll get a bus and leave the van But we were too punk to move on
So we went back on the road And kids kept on coming to shows We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer And so it goes, well never stop We'll tour til we reach the top We'll tour til the end of our years...
We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl We're gunna take on the world Common, Every boy, Every girl
