Gunpowder Access Cards

[Chorus] Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! [Verse] Grease and sweat on my faded tee Nineteen, fresh from the repair bay, wild and free Chewin' smoke, a crumpled twenty in my hand Staring at the neon glow, across this dead-end land Streetlights flicker, day begins to fade Sirens wail in traffic, then a sudden serenade Of silence, as the engines roar and pass me by Another night to burn, beneath a watchful sky [Pre-Chorus] This town's a cage, the pavement is my stage Flipping bins, a furious, youthful rage Cursing faces, suited up and walking dogs They own the sidewalks, drowned in their own foggy logs [Chorus] Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! [Verse] Jumped the train, clinging to the tail Left their cameras in the dust, a digital trail Of motion blurred, the city lights a smear Escaping every gaze, conquering my fear Like tire tracks on asphalt, a story to be told Or a guitar string snapped, breaking from the mold [Pre-Chorus] They track our moves, they think they understand But freedom's just a whisper, held within my hand This broken world, it tries to keep us down But we're the sparks that fly, in every forgotten town [Chorus] Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! [Bridge] Flipped-out cans, a fire starts to bloom Cheap burger in my fist, escaping all the gloom Bank draft from my folks, a future I can't claim Torn to pieces, thrown into the flame [Verse] They send their checks, their rules, their hollow praise But all I see are chains, in these gilded days This rebellion's born from oil and sweat and grime Living on the edge, stealing back our time [Chorus] Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! Let them rule the rules, we paint the access cards with gunpowder! [Outro]
