Get up, get out, this is your wake up call
We run this town and you can't fight us all
We keep 'em coming back for more
So don't think you can hold us down
We'll tear this building down
Try to be careful what you say

Give it up
Your tact is astounding
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind
You do this every time

So here's to another banner year
We've crossed that thin line, don't try to hold us here
If for just this once you'd think of us
I hope you're happy with yourself

Get up, get out
Who's gonna break your fall?
When we don't back down you're gonna seem so small
We keep 'em running for the door
Just wait, things will come back around
It's too late for them, they're heading straight for a meltdown
I'm not part of your cliche'

Give it up
Your tact is astounding
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind
You do this every time

So here's to another banner year
We've crossed that thin line, don't try to hold us here
If for just this once you'd think of us
I hope you're happy with yourself

Just think about, just think about everything
Be careful now, be careful what you say while I'm away

This is the life we chose, this is the life I lead
They can never take this from me
This is the life we chose, this is the life I lead
They can never take this from me

So here's to another banner year
We've crossed that thin line, don't try to hold us here
If for just this once you think of us, I hope you're happy with yourself
