VIOLENT AFFAIR LYRICS

"Tried And True"

Down on Sheridan avenue
Acting like we always knew
Anything about the world back then
But we were young living recklessly
Studs and spikes would fill the street
The green door is where we would meet
The smell of sweat and stale beer
Punk rock noises ringing in my ears

Then that was the day
That the punks went away
They changed the way the looked
And got god damn boring
They've slowed their music down
But we're still around
Just as pissed as ever
And we're never backing down

Faces from six years ago
Every weekend was another show
The glasnost was so hot those nights
Downtown with my friends I was feeling alright
I remember being in the crowd
With my fist in the air screaming loud
Those days just seem so long ago
But they mean more to me than you'll ever know

Then that was the day
That the punks went away
They changed the way the looked
And got god damn boring
They've slowed their music down
But we're still around
Just as pissed as ever
And we're never backing down

We've seen them come
We've watched them fall
We're the tried and true
We outlast them all

It's so much more than music to me
It's who I am and who I'll always be
So deeply engraved into my soul
It's the only thing I've ever known

Then that was the day
That the punks went away
They changed the way the looked
And got god damn boring
They've slowed their music down
But we're still around
Just as pissed as ever
And we're never backing down
