I  remember the days when we talked  for hours
 And we  were young; we thought we  had superpowers
We  kissed the sky, expanded  our minds, thought we could  fly
 We were dreamers, and  we'd never die
We  were young punks but we showed  potential
Us  against the world, we weren't  sentimental
We  weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
And  we weren't taking anybody's shit
 If I  knew now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
Knew  now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
 Come on, come on  rise up
 Come on, come on  rise up
 Come on, come on  rise
The  winters were cold but we had  your parents basement
 This underground  was for sinners and we  embraced it
Magic  pills, fairy  tales, Syd Barrett's ghost
 Oh, we'd all  get on that spaceship
We  measured our lives in coffee  spoons
 And those Friday  nights quickly turned into Sunday  afternoons
We  want our money, our muscles or our regrets
We  were having a mere life experience
 If I  knew now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
Knew  now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
I  remember the days when we talked  for hours
 And we  were young; we thought we  had superpowers
We  weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
And  we weren't taking anybody's shit
 Chorus/Outro
 If I  knew now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
Knew  now what I  knew then, I'd
 Back up do it all  again, I'd
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
 Take a bow, take  it real slow
 Take a ride down the yellow  brick road
 Come on, come on  rise up
 Come on, come on  rise up
 Come on, come on  rise
