Beat surrender_____
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I care about
Are packed into one punch
All the things that I'm not sure about
Are sorted out at once
And as it was in the beginning
So shall it be in the end
That bullshit is bullshit
It just goes by different names
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I shout about
But never act upon
All the courage of the dreams I have
They seem to wait so long.
My doubt is cast aside
Watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don't even enter in the game
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
If you feel there's no passion
No quality sensation
Seize that young determination
Show the fakers you ain't fooling.
You'll see me come running
To the sound of your strumming
Fill my heart with joy and gladness
I've lived too long in the shadows of sad - ness.
My doubt is cast aside
Watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don't even enter in the game
Come on boy, come on girl,
Succumb to the beat surrender.
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl,
Succumb to the beat surrender.
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
