lyrics

Why you let them messin' with your blue skies?
You don't have to let them get their way
If you're always focused on your discontent
Tell me
How do you expect to make the grade?

Now hit that switch
C'mon c'mon
Play it louder
Who's to say you can't make your own rules
Whatcha gonna prove once you're out there?
