Paint the Town Loud Badgers On Sunday ReDux (Final Cut)

[Start] [Verse 1] Meet me where the sidewalk hums Neon buzzing like a dare Someone’s laughing way too hard Someone else just cut their hair Cheap flyers, sweaty doors Stamp on the wrist, ringing ears We don’t need a reason tonight We already made it here [Pre-Chorus] We’ve been stuck inside our heads all week Now the walls are breathing out If the world’s been closing in on you Let’s push back, let’s shout it down [Chorus] We paint the town loud, not just red Raise a glass to the living, not the dead Every night’s a spark we found When we all show up, we burn it down Hands up, hearts open wide We don’t need permission to feel alive If tomorrow’s rough, that’s fine somehow Tonight we paint the town loud [Verse 2] Backroom bands and borrowed amps Skank it out, then slam the floor Someone loses their voice by ten Still screaming for one song more We don’t all agree on everything But we agree this hits just right Same sweat, same chorus Different lives, same night [Pre-Chorus] We trade stories like cigarettes Half burned, still gold Every scar sounds lighter now When it’s finally told [Chorus] We paint the town loud, not just red Raise a glass to the living, not the dead Every night’s a spark we found When we all show up, we burn it down Hands up, hearts open wide We don’t need permission to feel alive If tomorrow’s rough, that’s fine somehow Tonight we paint the town loud [Bridge – Ska drop, bass forward] Check on your friends in the pit Pull ‘em up if they slip Sing the words even wrong Belonging sounds like this [Build – Guitars crash back in] We’re not famous, not fixed, not clean But we’re here and we’re real and we’re seen [Final Chorus] We paint the town loud, name in lights Dancing through the doubts and fights Every laugh a battle won Every “stay” beats “should’ve run” Side by side, we hold our ground Found family in the sound If the world wants quiet now Too bad We paint the town loud [Outro – Half sung, half shouted] Same crew, new nights Same love, louder lights If this is all we get Then this is everything [Shouted] EVERYTHING!
