Long live the reckless and the brave I don't think I want to be saved My song has not been sung So long live us Looking out at a town called Suburbia Everybody's just fighting to fit in Little rats running mazes, having babies It's a vicious little world that we live in Looking back at a life on the other side I realize that I didn't fit in Didn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it To my precious little world So long live the reckless and the brave I don't think I want to be saved My song has not been sung And long live the fast times, so come what may I don't think I'll ever be saved Our song has not been sung Long live us Breaking out of a town called Suburbia I remember everybody always saying "Little brat, must be crazy, never make it In our vicious little world" Still I'm leaving Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be Take a breath, say goodbye To their precious little world (And say goodbye to me) So long live the reckless and the brave I don't think I want to be saved My song has not been sung And long live the fast times, so come what may I don't think I'll ever be saved Our song has not been sung Long live us Long live us Long live the reckless and the brave I don't think I want to be saved My song has not been sung Long live the reckless and the brave I don't think I want to be saved My song has not been sung And long live the fast times, so come what may I don't think that I'll ever be saved (I know) Our song has not been sung Long live us Long live us
