The Reckless and the Brave Lyrics
Long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
So long live us
Looking out at a town called Suburbia
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at life on the other side
I realize that I didn't fit in, didn't hate it
But I didn't quite relate it
To my precious little world
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
So come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
Breaking out of a town called Suburbia
I remember everybody always saying
"Little brat must be crazy
Never make it in our vicious little world"
Still I'm leaving
Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity
Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be
Take a breath, say goodbye
To their precious little world
(Say goodbye to me)
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
So come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
Long live us
Long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
Long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
(Breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
So come what may
I don't think that I'll ever be saved
I know our song has not been sung
(Breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
Long live us
Long live us
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
So long live us
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at life on the other side
I realize that I didn't fit in, didn't hate it
But I didn't quite relate it
To my precious little world
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
So come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
I remember everybody always saying
"Little brat must be crazy
Never make it in our vicious little world"
Still I'm leaving
Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity
Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be
Take a breath, say goodbye
To their precious little world
(Say goodbye to me)
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
So come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
Long live us
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times
(Breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
So come what may
I don't think that I'll ever be saved
I know our song has not been sung
(Breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
Long live us
Long live us

^ Full lyrics. I just joined so I don't know how to correct lyrics, if you can. ALL THE HUSTLERNESS ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW ♥
this is an incredible song!!!! really teaches u to stop sucking up 2 the man!!! its wat ATL did n look where they r now!!!
it's about a kid growing up in the suburbs who has big ambitions as a singer, and nobody thinks he can make it until he actually does. In leaving town and getting up on stage and singing in front of all these people, he's claiming he's either "reckless or brave"
It's about all the miss fits, all the kids who aren't afraid to go for there dream. It's about all the 'reckless and brave kids' we all get grouped together as "different" but were actually going to change the world. Just like Alex, Jack, Zack and Rian.
