lyrics

A churning, sweaty room in this broken town
The kids are swinging from the rafters, the band's burning the place down
A gallery of sonic art, a place where the sound of our laughter's only matched by the guitars
You're welcome here, at our open house, the community suite
Now come in off the street

They came to shut it down, they came to scoff
They came with fingers in their ears, that seems to be part of their jobs
What they don't see, what they don't know, is that our music makes a family and we are already home
Thathorates have no respect for our own good

This is our place to sing, dance and create a life, a life worth living
Either here or on the streets
This is the only place to be breathe the air that's free from Thathorates
Our space
They haven't tried to understand
Thathorates can't evict our hearts
Though they can try to bar our doors
We'll take it back...we'll find a way

Shut down, build it back up
This is our urgency
Forced out, breakin' back in
State of emergency
We've got to give it life each time they shut it down because I'm tired of saying there's nothing to do in this town
