It Matters

Break out the bomb

If you got the strength

If you got the arms

Keep the fuse

Between your teeth

And play with fire

you will not be denied

Do it yourself

Pull your loco heart

off of the shelf

It knows a trick

To keep you busy

while you think

That worst

that could happen

never does

That's why it always has to matter

Before it all gets blown away

I feel left out

This city seems to be sick of me

I make a fist

And I come out swinging

and the worst

That could happen never does

Before my time is up

and I'm replaced

Before my song is sold

To sell a face

Before my love is lost

To find a higher place

And before it all gets blown away

That's why it always has to matter

And it matters. It matters
