Submissions - Week 4 (Theme: Chorus First)

We’re going to take it back 

There was a time when I was so sure
That I could trust anyone next door
Not to be part of an alien mass
Not to follow any hateful mind

‘Cause if history has taught us anything
Was to never let down our guard
For people stealing our future days
While trying to bring back the past

But we’re going to take it back 

There was a time when my head was fine
That I could trust any friend of mine
Not to join such a brainless flock
Not to live in a rewind clock

‘Cause if history has taught us anything
Was to never let down our guard
For people stealing our future 
While trying to bring back the past

But we’re going to take it back

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 1:
So many more songs that need to be sung
All I need's a voice but all I get is voicemail
Parents still paying your phonebill

Verse 2:
And do you recall?
Chilling with us?
After you left, we all broke apart

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 3:
And the only thing that sticks with me
There's an easy way out if I want it
I try to keep my mind off it
But some nights I get lonely

Verse 4:
And if I'm being honest,
It's why I don't drink so much anymore
I'm running out of excuses,
Some nights I know that I'm a loser

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

So Cold

For r/Songaweek (Jan 21st to Jan 27th)

Lyrics:

This dimension is my stomping ground
I holiday in others but this one I hang around
I can see all the futures and where they interconnect
And if you wanna gamble on that
I'll take that bet

I raise up mountains
And raze them back down
I bring forth floods so my enemies drown
The blood of ancients in my veins
I can grant you riches, I can take away fame

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!

I'm not Canadian, or Californian
Altogether alien I'm mythical next of kin
Always mining for thunder no matter what sky I'm under
And always coming up gold, ha ha

I seek out fortunes that you have forgot
You reap to sow but I've sown, reaped and wrought
Laughed in the face of army advances
So what'd you reckon are your fuckin' chances

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!

I'll drink a gallon of gasoline just cause I can
Keep tellin' you, I'm no mere mortal, man
I can bring about eternal night or eternal day
Oh when I stare into the abyss it looks away

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!
