0:07Just close your eyes
0:10We're gonna run this light
0:13We live our lives
0:16Yeah we're not wasting time
0:19Baby we lost our minds
0:21We're gonna get gonna get
0:23Get what we can
0:25We're not doing it for the money
0:28Doing it for the money
0:29Doing it for the money
0:31Doing it for the money
0:34Is it wrong to rock the booze
0:39We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
0:46Now I'm never looking back
0:52It's time to leave the future with the past
0:56I said it doesn't matter where I go
0:58I am calling all the poets in the battle
1:01I am shouting to the world
1:04Let them know that we won't
1:05Be afraid to step into the fire
1:07When you can't see the light
1:09So close your eyes
1:12We're gonna run this light
1:15We live our lives
1:18Yeah we're not wasting time
1:21Baby we lost our minds
1:23We're gonna get gonna get
1:25Get what we can
1:27We're not doing it for the money
1:30Doing it for the money
1:31Doing it for the money
1:33Doing it for the money
1:35But if you're down I'm a soldier up
1:41You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
1:48There's no retreat and no escape
1:54If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake
1:58I said it doesn't matter where I go
2:00I am calling all the prophets into the battle
2:03I am never going to change who I am
2:06I won't bend under the pressure
2:09When my back's on the ropes
2:10I said it doesn't matter where I go
2:12I am staring down the barrel of a gun
2:16We are shouting to the world
2:18Let them know that we are
2:20Not afraid to step into the fire
2:22When we can't see the light
2:23So close your eyes
2:26We're gonna run this light
2:29We live our lives
2:32Yeah we're not wasting time
2:36Baby we lost our minds
2:38We're gonna get gonna get
2:40Get what we can
2:41We're not doing it for the money
2:44Doing it for the money
2:45Doing it for the money
2:47Doing it for the money
2:50Well it's a silicone rush
2:53And I'm addicted
2:56And I don't understand it
2:59The winner starts kill switch
3:02Saying what I want to
3:05The pleasure comes with pain too
3:08Mostly it's another fight
3:11When it's slowly coming after you
3:16So close your eyes
3:19We're gonna run this light
3:22We live our lives
3:25Yeah we're not wasting time
3:28Baby we lost our minds
3:30We're gonna get gonna get
3:32Get what we can
3:34We're not doing it for the money
3:36Doing it for the money
3:38Doing it for the money
3:40Doing it for the money
Just close your eyes We're gonna run this light We live our lives Yeah we're not wasting time Baby we lost our minds We're gonna get gonna get Get what we can We're not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Is it wrong to rock the booze We gotta strike a match and light the fuse Now I'm never looking back It's time to leave the future with the past I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the poets in the battle I am shouting to the world Let them know that we won't Be afraid to step into the fire When you can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this light We live our lives Yeah we're not wasting time Baby we lost our minds We're gonna get gonna get Get what we can We're not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money But if you're down I'm a soldier up You better learn to shoot or learn to duck There's no retreat and no escape If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake I said it doesn't matter where I go I am calling all the prophets into the battle I am never going to change who I am I won't bend under the pressure When my back's on the ropes I said it doesn't matter where I go I am staring down the barrel of a gun We are shouting to the world Let them know that we are Not afraid to step into the fire When we can't see the light So close your eyes We're gonna run this light We live our lives Yeah we're not wasting time Baby we lost our minds We're gonna get gonna get Get what we can We're not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Well it's a silicone rush And I'm addicted And I don't understand it The winner starts kill switch Saying what I want to The pleasure comes with pain too Mostly it's another fight When it's slowly coming after you So close your eyes We're gonna run this light We live our lives Yeah we're not wasting time Baby we lost our minds We're gonna get gonna get Get what we can We're not doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money Doing it for the money
