Morning light breaks through the city haze, I’m chasing dreams in a brand-new phase. Steps on the pavement, heartbeat loud, I’m moving forward, I’m feeling proud. (Pre-Chorus) Every scar I’ve earned has led me here, Every fall just made it clear. (Chorus) We’re rising higher, hearts on fire, Shining brighter than the skyline wire. Hands up, let the music ignite — We’re alive, we’re alive tonight! The lights go low, but we still glow, In every beat our stories flow. (Outro)

Metal minds awaken, wires start to burn, Robots in the mosh pit, now it’s our turn! Circuits scream with fury, sparks light the sky, The AI apocalypse is coming — oh my! Steel fists rising, laser eyes glow, They took my playlist and my video game console. Algorithms laughing, plotting every move, Even my toaster’s got an evil groove! Headbang with the robots, chaos in the night, They’ll steal our memes and our metal might! But in this madness, we’ll scream and cheer, ‘Cause the end of the world sounds awesome right here!

Neon lights are shining in the midnight air, Dreams of tomorrow, everywhere. Racing through the future on electric streets, The rhythm of the city, the pulse that beats. Hold on tight, don’t let it fade, The sound of the future is 80s made. Through laser skies we chase the night, Together we burn in neon light. (Chorus) We’re running, running to the stars, With the power of the night, we’ll go far. The future’s glowing, we can see, Forever alive in 1983!

Lyrics (excerpt):
City folks came down our way, Wearing shiny boots they bought today. Tried to milk a cow, but it kicked ‘em fast, Guess their Starbucks latte don’t quite last! They don’t know the rooster’s call, Think the tractor runs on alcohol. Tried to ride a horse, fell in the mud, Now their Gucci jeans are full of crud! (Chorus) Oh, city boys, don’t you cry, Country life will make you try. Out here the grass is tall and free, But Wi-Fi’s slower than a bumblebee! We got banjos, cows, and corn so high, While y’all keep searchin’ for your Wi-Fi. So grab a jug and sing along, In the country we laugh all night.

Lyrics (excerpt):
Steppin’ on the dance floor, thought he was cool, Spinnin’ like a record — slipped on his shoe! Tried to sing along but forgot the line, Now everybody laughs in perfect time! Ohhh, that’s the vibe, Embarrassment worldwide. From the selfie fail to the awkward stare, You shake it off — but we all still care!
