Lyrics Frank Turner – Try This At Home

Let’s inherit the earth, because no one else is taking it
Come on, do your worst, before the moment’s passed
In bedrooms across England, and all the Western world
There’s posters and there’s magazines but the music isn’t ours

Because we write love songs in C, we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars
Come on folks and try this at home

Because the only thing that punk rock should ever really mean
Is not sitting round and waiting for the lights to go green
And not thinking that you’re better because you’re stood up on a stage
If you’re oh so fucking different then who cares what you have to say?

Because there’s no such thing as rock stars, there’s just people who play music
And some of them are just like us, and some of them are dicks
So quick, turn off your stereo, pick up that pen and paper
You could do much better than some skinny half-arsed English country singer

Because we write love songs in C, we do politics in G
We sing songs about our friends in E minor
So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars
And come on folks and try this at home
