Garageland

I

Read the paper just the other day

About a buddy of mine

Who headed to an early grave

They say he went in his sleep

With a smile on his face

But he was dreaming 'bout better days

When the crash of the drums

Hit like waves on a beach

That cheap bass and guitar

And our wildest dreams

We were searching for a savior

Like anybody else

Trying to save ourselves from ourselves

Just a garage band

We weren't alive

We were livin' in garageland

Our parents all held jobs

But we had other plans

We acted like our heroes

They just didn't understand

And we were never afraid to fall

It was us and those four walls

Just a garage band

We weren't alive

We were livin' in garageland

Nothing ever felt so right

Just us

Those guitars and a saturday night

Yeah

'Cause with a strap on your back

You have wings on your feet

You felt like a king

When you walked down the street

We heard those old records

And knew we belonged

When the drums hit the groove

We'd all sing along

Just a garage band

Oh

We were livin' in garageland

Just a garage band

Oh we weren't alive

We were livin' in garageland

Nothing ever felt so right

It was us

Those guitars and a saturday night
