The Script

Dino Guy

They draw neat lines and trim the wings,
Design our graves with spreadsheet things.
They whisper “less so they obey,”
But minds grow wild when kept at bay.

You can try to dull the light,
Lock the books and hide the sight—
But embers learn to breathe and warm,
And curiosity breaks the form.

Don’t teach us how to be small,
Don’t sell us fear dressed up as law.
We will cradle every name,
Feed the spark and fan the flame.
You can dig a deeper trench,
Build your walls and stretch your fence—
But truth will find a way to speak:
Knowledge saves the lost, not weak.

They aim to make us easy prey,
Reduce our songs to work and pay.
They promise quiet if we bow,
But cages rattle even now.

When knowledge sleeps the heart gets thin,
When questions die, the rot sinks in—
A hollow people learn to fear,
But fear itself will disappear.

Don’t teach us how to be small,
Don’t sell us fear dressed up as law.
We will cradle every name,
Feed the spark and fan the flame.
You can dig a deeper trench,
Build your walls and stretch your fence—
But truth will find a way to speak:
Knowledge saves the lost, not weak.

There’s no salvation in a cage,
No virtue in the quiet age.
An ignorant peace is false and thin —
Give me the fire that burns within.

They’ll tell you less is kinder,
That hunger learns to obey.
But history remembers the whisperers
Who chose to steal the day.

Don’t teach us how to be small,
We’ll teach our children to stand tall.
We’ll cradle questions, hold their name,
Turn every lesson into flame.
You can build your ordered plan,
Try to shape the shape of man—
But seeds of thought will pierce the stone:
We are not yours to lop or own.

So pass the book and light the lamp,
Let learning be our only stamp.
No chain can bind an open mind—
Teach the flame, and leave hate blind.

Our new album ‘Satellites’ - out now 📡
‘At Your Feet’ - single out now!

The Script’s gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamoured fans all over the world, leading to a catalogue of global hits such as ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Breakeven’. But following the tragic loss of founder member Mark Sheehan in 2023, his bandmates Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power vowed that the best way to pay tribute to him would be to continue the band they had built together and reconnect with The Script’s worldwide family.

Returning with their upcoming album ‘Satellites’, The Script have made a life-affirming record, bringing a fiery new energy to their anthemic, arena-filling sound. The Script prove that there can be new horizons and light after the darkness.

2024 will see The Script tour internationally as special guests to P!NK before they add to a career total of 4 million ticket sales by embarking upon a huge UK and European headline arena tour in November. Having already achieved so much - 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales, 6 UK #1 albums - an exciting new chapter in The Script’s journey is underway, and the possibilities are endless.
