Intro 
      x 2

Verse 1
                           
I remember the days when we talked for hours
                           
And we were young; we thought we had superpowers
                    			      
We kissed the sky, expanded our minds, thought we could fly
                  
We were dreamers, and we'd never die
                                   
We were young punks but we showed potential
                    
Us against the world, we weren't sentimental

We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
 
And we weren't taking anybody's shit


Chorus
    		                   
If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
		     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road
                            
Knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
                     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Bridge
   		 
	Come on, come on rise up

   		 
	Come on, come on rise up

   		 
	Come on, come on rise


Verse 2
                            
The winters were cold but we had your parents basement
                                
This underground was for sinners and we embraced it
            		           
Magic pills, fairy tales, Syd Barrett's ghost
          
Oh, we'd all get on that spaceship
                        
We measured our lives in coffee spoons
                                       
And those Friday nights quickly turned into Sunday afternoons

We want our money, our muscles or our regrets

We were having a mere life experience


Chorus
    		                   
If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
		     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road
                            
Knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
                     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road


Verse 3
                           
I remember the days when we talked for hours
                           
And we were young; we thought we had superpowers

We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
 
And we weren't taking anybody's shit


Chorus/Outro
    		                   
If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
		     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

                            
Knew now what I knew then, I'd
              	     
Back up do it all again, I'd
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
                     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road
                            
Take a bow, take it real slow
                     
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

   		 
	Come on, come on rise up

   		 
	Come on, come on rise up

   		 
	Come on, come on rise
