“Raging Against the Routine”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Em C
Walking down the same streets, in the same shoes,
G D
The life’s a maze, repeating blues.
Em C
Looking for a break, in this numbing routine,
G D
The world’s a stage, where I’ve never been seen.
(Chorus)
Em C
Raging against the routine,
G D
Let’s paint this town green.
Em C
This life’s more than it seems,
G D
Wake up from your dreams.
(Verse)
Em C
Feeling like a cog, in this giant wheel,
G D
Pushing through the days, just trying to heal.
Em C
Looking for a spark, in this dimmed light,
G D
In the heart of darkness, ready for a fight.
(Chorus)
Em C
Raging against the routine,
G D
Let’s set this world on fire, let’s be obscene.
Em C
Stand up for what this life means,
G D
Break free from your dreams.
