Well we were just 17, punk kids with a daydream in sight
We found a group, they liked our style
Out of the burbs, big city with the lights
Go!
Well it’s all on the line, it’s our life, it our time
Because nothing matters when you’re young
(I want no more)
And we’re last on the bill, and the band is dressed to kill
And the crowd is shouting “rebel yell”
(Chicago lights)
Blame it on the backbeat x3, more
Blame it on the backbeat x3, more
Well we were just 21, stranded in the strangest cities, California sun
We lost our nerve, 3,000 miles from our hometown
Big city don’t feel right
No!
Not we’re lost in a van, and I don’t know what’s the plan, now we’re sleeping on a punk house floor
(I want no more)
And I can’t find a meal and I’m starting now to feel like we’re just another band on tour
(Chicago lights)
Blame it on the backbeat x3, more
Get in the van!
Though these days drag on long and hazy
Things we did, they still amaze me now
And no matter what happens now, they can’t take that away x 4
Well it’s all on the line, it’s our life, it our time
Because nothing matters when you’re young
(I want no more)
And we’re last on the bill, and the band is dressed to kill
And the crowd is shouting “rebel yell”
(Chicago lights)
Blame it on the backbeat x3, more
Blame it on the backbeat x3, more
Chicago lights
