Time to rewind Back to 1995 when we were nothing Walking through the streets of Boston no one listening No one caring about the empty rooms we played Until they all showed up one for one day Then we turned our stage and everything changed Turn that shit out louder Make it all go faster Playing through the witching hour Take it to one thousand horsepower Under lights now Playing to the masses everything feels right Taking state by state by country over night Living in a shelter and every fight Seeing millions of people Rage When we take our stage, everybody scream Turn that shit out louder Make it all go faster Playing through the witching hour Take it to one thousand horsepower, yeah Turn it up one more time Get it up get it up feel the alive Turn it up turn it up one more time Get it up get it up feel the alive Turn it up turn it up one more time Get it up get it up feel the alive Turn it up turn it up one more time Get it up get it up feel the alive, yeah Turn that shit out louder Make it all go faster Playing through the witching hour Take it to one thousand horsepower Turn that shit out louder Make it all go faster Playing through the witching hour Take it to one thousand horsepower
