We have finished a new album that is just getting a bit of mastering magic from
@cowparsleyman. Half the tracks have been on here already but this is one that I don't know what I haven't shared it before. When Neil and I are writing, we have a very definite tension between my liking for more raucous screamy rock and his more melodic rock preferences. I'm never going to be a screamer but here is three minutes of punk (or as close as I'm going to get) preceded by a gentle picky intro.
The original lyrics from Neil were not really like this. All of these words were in there but I have re-jigged them, added repetition for the chorus and hopefully given it a clear meaning.
Hope you enjoy it!
Do you wanna change things, for the better?
Stir things up, no half measures
You've only got one shot at this so you'd better make a difference
Go quietly out the door or be belligerent
There’s got to be more to life than trying to survive
Everybody needs their mojo, their inspiration drive
How to be remembered, how do you want to be
Not enough time to make your presence felt?
What will be will be!
Gotta stand up for what you believe in
Take a stand no time for just leaving
Speak up gotta let them know
You're not heading for a silent exit
Speak up gotta let them know
Speak up gotta let them know
You're not heading for a silent exit
Speak up gotta let them know
You're not heading for a silent exit
No, you're not heading for a silent exit!
There’s got to be more to you than saying you can’t decide
Being silent’s just accepting, a fact you cannot hide
Don’t just turn a blind eye, turn away your enemy
Not enough time to make a difference?
What will be will be!
Gotta stand up for what you believe in

Speak up gotta let them know
Speak up gotta let them know
You're not heading for a silent exit
Speak up gotta let them know
You're not heading for a silent exit
No, you're not heading for a silent exit!
