[00:15.12]They're coming out of the walls, they're coming up through the streets
[00:18.66]They're quicksilver wracked by some invisible beat
[00:22.47]And right outside of your door, the very stones come alive
[00:25.95]They are the spring in the step, the distant look in the eyes
[00:30.57]Put your Baudelaire away
[00:34.32]And come outside and play
[00:41.19]Me and all my friends are poets of the deed
[00:48.42]We're exactly what this country needs
[00:55.59]We scratch until we're drunk, we drink until we bleed
[01:00.57]We are what we believe
[01:07.23]Pentameter in attack, iambic pulse in the veins
[01:10.77]Free verse powered of the street light mains
[01:14.40]An Iliad played out without a shadow of doubt
[01:18.06]Between the end of the club, yeah, and the sun coming out
[01:21.72]Leave Kerouac at his desk
[01:26.46]We have romance in our risks
[01:33.36]Me and all my friends are poets of the deed
[01:40.71]We're exactly what this country needs
[01:48.00]We scratch until we're drunk, we drink until we bleed
[01:53.55]And here's what we believe
[01:55.11]Before we get bored, let's be inspired
[01:58.56]Let's ignore the applause and set the theater on fire
[02:02.58]Fight every war like the drunks in the choir
[02:05.85]Put our art where our mouths are poetry of the deed
[02:14.34]Enough with words and technical theses
[02:21.00]Let's grab life by the throat and live it to pieces
[02:26.52]We can choose, we can change and if we don't
[02:30.84]We're just afraid of living life like we're loved
[02:31.98]And in love and alive to all the things we could be
[02:32.97]If we just believed that life
[02:33.87]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:34.80]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:36.00]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:36.84]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:38.16]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:39.15]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:40.38]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:41.79]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:42.87]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:44.97]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:48.90]Life is too short to live without poetry
[02:50.43]If you've got soul, darling, now come on and show it to me
[02:51.63]Life is too long to just sing the one song
[02:52.80]So we'll burn like a beacon and then we'll be gone
