lyrics

Steal the Key

Lined up in rows and hung out to dry
Shattered and battered and taught how to die
Clip all your wings and wonder why you can't fly
So high
Brought down to earth and bored half to tears
Scattered and tattered and counting the years
To playtime and sunshine and all of those childish things
Goodbye

Shut it down
And get in line
No questions asked
No petty crimes
Shut it down
The door is closed
No one cares
And no one really knows

Pay no mind to what they say
It don't matter anyway
They won't be on board to see you through
You've just got to follow what's inside
And try to make the most of your precious time
Search and you might find
What really makes your trains and clocks all run on time

Shut it down
And get in line
No questions asked
No petty crimes
Shut it down
The door is closed
No one cares
And no one really knows

Open up
Fall out of line
Ask all the questions
Do all the crimes
Open up
And ask for more
Freedom is as close as the open door
Pick the lock
Steal the key

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

supported by 6 fans who also own “Steal the Key”

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool

RVIVR is like antidepressants for me. i just cant fucking feel anything but stoked when I listen to any of their songs. so triumphant. Guitar hooks for days, catchy choruses, amazing harmonies, everything that makes a perfect pop punk record. Mickie Rat
