lyrics

NORTHWEST SONG
(Chris Hludzik)

Crank it up real loud
To get the message through
And if you don't seem too proud
They might believe in you

Just don't wash your hair
And tear some holes in your jeans
Just cast a blank stare
Make them feel what you think you've been

CHORUS:
But we weren't stars
We wouldn't last that long
Just kids with guitars
Trying to play those Northwest songs

So young and so bold
We thought we knew it all
In a world so cold
With our backs to the wall

Distortion and gain
To make it all come down
Frustration and pain
Like a gray day in a Northwest town

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Can you feel the pain?
Can you feel the shame?
Does it feel the same
As everything else?
But we'll insist it's a new sound
We'll try and cover some new ground
Even though it's the same ground
That's been trampled by everyone else

CHORUS:

©2009, Chris Hludzik.
