Open up your ears my friend
I'll tell you a story that never ends
About the band that plays for you now

It started back in 91
Started playin just for fun
And couldnt stop ourselves, didn't know how

Then we began playing shows
And kids started tapping their toes
And people kept askin' for more
And even though we really sucked
We kept it up, didn't give a [bad word] Cause that's what the music is for

We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl

Then a man from Hollywood
He said to sign, he said we should
But we were to [bad word] to respond

You'll be so rich yeah said the man
You'll get a bus and leave the van
But we were too punk to move on

So we went back on the road
And kids kept [bad word] to shows
We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer
And so it goes, well never stop
We'll tour til we reach the top
We'll tour til the end of our years...

We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl

We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl

We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the [bad word]  Every boy, Every girl
