#MusicMonday - "Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die" by Four Year Strong

#MusicMonday is dedicated to the band Four Year Strong and their song "Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die" from the Rise or Die Trying Album. The lyrics are witty and thoughtful, while the overall musicianship of the song pulls you up and pushes you back down with varying layers of vocals and drums. Enjoy this throwback from 2007!

Four Year Strong is releasing an EP on September 8th, 2017 called "Some Of You Will Like This // Some Of You Won't" - available for preorder!

They are on tour NOW in South America and return to the US in September for their 10 year anniversary tour - get tickets now!

Oh, something tells me

I'm never gonna live this one down

But I'll try but I'm gonna need a quick hand,

A sharp eye, a smooth talker

Just to play this one out to the very end.

And this is where you come in

I know, that I could count on you to walk me through

And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone

Can be the someone that they've always wanted to.

If I couldn't get away with anything

Then how in the hell did I get here?

Say something. Say anything.

You were never the one to have something to say.

Say something. Say something. Say anything.

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you.

Oh, something tells me

I'm never gonna live this one down

But I'm down and out

Cause if the tensions light as a feather

Then I'd be bored stiff

We gotta mix things up a bit to keep up my interest

Sad enough to say that

Alone I could barely light a match

But together we can burn this place down.

Sorry about the mess

But when we team up, team up

We always seem to bring this place to the ground

And this is where you come in

I know, that I could count on you to walk me through

And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone

Can be the someone that they've always wanted to.

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you.

Sad enough to say that

Alone I could barely light a match

But together we can burn this place down. 

[x5]

Sorry about the mess

But when we team up, team up

We always seem to bring this place to the ground

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you.
