Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Beat surrender

[Verse 2]

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

[Verse 3]

All the things that I care about

Are packed into one punch

All the things that I'm not sure about

Are sorted out at once

[Verse 4]

And as it was in the beginning

So shall it be in the end

That bullshit is bullshit

Just goes by different names

[Verse 5]

Well come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

[Verse 6]

All the things that I shout about

But never act upon

All the courage and the dreams that I have

That seem to wait so long

[Verse 7]

My doubt is cast aside, watch phonies run to hide

The dignified don't even enter in the game

[Verse 8]

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

[Verse 9]

If you feel there's no passion

No quality sensation

Seize the young determination

Show the fakers you ain't fooling

You'll see me come running

To the sound of your strumming

Fill my heart with joy and gladness

I've lived too long in shadows of sadness

[Verse 10]

My doubt is cast aside, watch phonies run to hide

The dignified don't even enter in the game

[Verse 11]

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

[Verse 12]

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender

Come on, boy, come on, girl

Succumb to the beat surrender...
