The world's gone silent
Cold screen in hand
Bad news, algorithms
And loneliness
Hearts turning into statistics
Souls crying out for music

But deep down
There's a scream held back
A distorted bassline
Wanting to be heard
If no one else is going to save us
We'll make the noise ourselves

It's the rock the universe needs
Guitar in the veins
Truth burning hot
To burn away the lies
To cure the coldness
To remind us we still have wings

It's the rock the universe needs
Drums in the chest
A shout in the square
If the system wants to silence us
We turn up the volume
And break on through

They sell fear in 15-second packages
But we've got three chords and a split second
To explode, to rebuild
To make the ground shake and smile

No more soulless playlists
No more living on mute
If life is too short
Let it be loud and

It's the rock the universe needs
Guitar in the veins
Truth burning hot
To burn away the lies
To cure the coldness
To remind us we still have wings

It's the rock the universe needs
Drums in the chest
A shout in the square
If the system wants to silence us
We turn up the volume
And break on through

Let the pick fly
Break the chains
This is our sound
That won't sell out

It's the rock the universe needs
Unfiltered, fearless, unmasked
It's sweat, it's faith
It's stumbling and booze
It's you, it's me
It's us out in the square

It's the rock the universe needs
And if the world doesn't get it
We'll play until it does

Turn it up, a little more
