LYRICS:
If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

March on always after us
Lost troops, half the class of us
You man ain't seen the last of us
Stick around yeh like Elastoplast
Not half mast
Raise our flag, kick the sand
To let you know that we're coming and we're nasty man, and
Don't need sleeping beauty
No, It's what you do to me
Come midnight
And daybreak, yes please gotta find me her namesake
We got faith but don't need bibles
Take the Michael
Hear my recital, I hold the title
Quite vital
We get high on the opposite of Nytol

It was all to stay awake for the longest time
It was wrong, it was long
But it felt so right
See you at the finish line, see you at the finish line
If you got the heart to join us

If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

March on always after us
Lost troops, half the class of us
You man ain't seen the last of us
Stick around yeh like Elastoplast
Not half mast
Raise our flag, kick the sand
To let you know that we're coming and we're nasty man, and
Don't need sleeping beauty
No, It's what you do to me
Come midnight
And daybreak, yes please gotta find me her namesake
We got faith but don't need bibles
Take the Michael
Hear my recital, I hold the title
Quite vital
We get high on the opposite of Nytol

We just grow
If it's late then we'll show
We dont wait
We just grow
If you hate we don't show
We dont wait
We just grow
If it's late then we'll show
We dont wait
We just grow

If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

[Shystikka]

I normally listen to Metal and Hardcore music and usually hate this genre of music...but i accidentally found this song being used in a tutorial video...and i can say that i actually enjoy this song :)

[PanBialasPL]

Listening to this since 2011... The difference between being 17 and 11 is HUGE.

[Amateratsu]

NERO smashing it on the production, and Example killing it with the vocals.

I almost forgot about that song. That was a part of my teenhood back when I found out about EDM for the first time. A bit sad that I can't play that song on Spotify anymore because it's suddenly blocked in my country for whatever reason.

[robbiemo]

Example is making those party tunes mixed with rap. Dubstep, drum and bass, electro, all mixed in with singing and rapping. I'm glad he's getting the exposure and chart success he deserves. Making his own lane in the music industry!

EXAMPLE! >

[JordanKenobi]

Example has done it again !! Another excellent song !!

[WayfairingSam]

If 2011 was to have a song... This would be one of them.

amazing artist, listening to his lyrics, ive never heard such a flow in his words, catchy as anything with an amazing unique beat behind it, few artists at this time can produce an album where every song they produce is of the highest quality, props to you example, i cant wait for playing in the shadows.
