Lyrics
[Intro] [Cold Soda Can Pop & Guitar Tuning]
E-string tuned up to pitch... check!
Let's run the second verse from the top!
[Verse 1] [Garage Guitar Riff & Live Drums]
Egg carton soundproofing glued to the wall
Playing our music in the basement hall
Cold soda cans sweating on the floor
Cables tangled by the wooden door
Four best friends playing in the groove
Making the whole foundation move
[Pre-Chorus] [Snare Groove & Bassline]
The neighborhood is sleeping overhead
While we write our history instead
[Chorus] [Gritty Garage Rock Drop]
Egg carton soundproofing on the concrete wall
Answering the midnight rock-and-roll call
Sweat, grit, electricity and noise
Finding our authentic living voice
Play loud, play true, keep the rhythm tight
We own the basement in the middle of the night
[Verse 2] [Guitar Chops & Driving Beat]
Amplifier fan whirring in the back
Locking the groove into the rhythm track
The singer taps his foot upon the mat
There's nothing more honest than that
[Bridge] [Guitar Solo & Band Shouts]
One, two, three, let the chorus rip!
Tighten up the rhythm on the drummer's grip!
We don't need a fancy million-dollar place
We've got the rock and we've got the grace!
[Chorus] [Full Band Garage Climax]
Egg carton soundproofing on the concrete wall
Answering the midnight rock-and-roll call
Sweat, grit, electricity and noise
Finding our authentic living voice
Play loud, play true, keep the rhythm tight
We own the basement in the middle of the night
[Outro] [Guitar Riff & Band Laughter Fading]
Basement rehearsal...
That's a take!
[Fade Out]
[End]
