The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Just close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah, we're not wasting time

Baby, we lost our minds

We're gonna get, gonna get

Get all we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Is it wrong to rock the booze?

We gotta strike a match and light the fuse

Now I'm never looking back

It's time to leave the future with the past

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am calling all the poets in the battle

I am shouting to the world

Let them know that we won't

Be afraid to step into the fight when you can't see the light

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah, we're not wasting time

Baby, we lost our minds

We're gonna get, gonna get

Get all we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

But if you're down I'll soldier you up

You better learn to shoot or learn to duck

There's no retreat and no escape

If we can dream then why are we wide awake?

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am calling all the prophets into the battle

I am never going to change who I am

I won't bend under the pressure

While my back's on the ropes

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am staring down the barrel of the gun

We are shouting to the world

Let them know that we are

Not afraid to step into the fight when we can't see the light

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah, we're not wasting time

Baby, we lost our minds

We're gonna get, gonna get

Get all we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Well, it's a silicone rush

And I'm addicted

I don't understand it

When this talk can switch

Saying what I want to

The pleasure comes pain too

Mostly it's another thought

Slowly coming after you

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah, we're not wasting time

Baby, we lost our minds

We're gonna get, gonna get

Get all we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money
