Give It All Back
Oh well the world never seemed bigger
Than the summer of '98
Living out in the suburbs
Planning my escape
I grew my hair to my shoulders
Formed a band with a couple of friends
We called ourselves The Devil's Playhouse
Influence is like Bruce and the band
And we'd sing and play
Simple three-chord rock and roll
And miles away
The other kids would disco
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom
While my parents were working in town
And one morning in our school assembly
Played a cover of 'Don't Let Me Down'
The performance was nervous and awkward
But the passion was real and profound
And the kids in the audience laughing
While the band just stared at the ground
What a victory, for the kids who believe in rock and roll
I know, for me, that performance lives and never grows old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well I'd give it all back just to do it again
I turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends tonight
Than the summer of '98
Living out in the suburbs
Planning my escape
I grew my hair to my shoulders
Formed a band with a couple of friends
We called ourselves The Devil's Playhouse
Influence is like Bruce and the band
And we'd sing and play
Simple three-chord rock and roll
And miles away
The other kids would disco
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom
While my parents were working in town
And one morning in our school assembly
Played a cover of 'Don't Let Me Down'
The performance was nervous and awkward
But the passion was real and profound
And the kids in the audience laughing
While the band just stared at the ground
What a victory, for the kids who believe in rock and roll
I know, for me, that performance lives and never grows old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
Well I'd give it all back just to do it again
I turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends tonight
