Still have to laugh about that one...
I think it is a sweet song, expressing the pure naive joy, like when you were 13 and just had started your first band, thinking of printing shirts before you even have learned a second chord...
Still, these words are genuinely true.
We love music and this is our tribute song to it.
We were listening a lot... A LOT... to "Bouncing Souls" at the time we wrote that one.
And believe it or not, we had such a hard time to stick to only 3 chords, but eventually we made it. =P
lyrics
You make us laugh and cry and we will slave until the day that we die,
for the rest of our lives!
And so we’ll sing till our throats are dry, everyday into the night,
till the end of our lives!
And so we play this fucking pain away, just try to improve your day!
Well, we have found this, this fitting sound,
that is guiding us day in and out!
Lots of things they come and go but we’ve bonded our souls on you!
Keep it simple, keep it real, showing people what we feel!
Gotta play that away!!!
