Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill Daylight still a long time coming But I know it will Been under their spell, oh, but we're coming awake So we'll be rude, we'll be loud As long as it takes This is why, this is why, We crank the dial to the right Ooh this is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right Different colors We carry each other We're just different colors This is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right We keep cracking the music up Driving through our towns But they don't wanna hear They want us to turn it down So come on lovers, come on haters Tonight we raise the fire 'Cause when the people get to dancing They forget about taking sides This is why, this is why We crank the dial to the right Ooh this is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right, sing Different colors We carry each other We're just different colors This is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) We're coming awake, out of your spell, As long as it takes, we're coming awake We're coming awake, out of your spell, As long as it takes, we're coming awake This is why, this is why, We crank the dial to the right This is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right I said this is why, this is why We turn it up all night Oh this is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right Different colors We carry each other We're just different colors This is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right Different colors We carry each other We're just different colors This is why we're biting the bullet We know the kids are right
