I Remain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Busted out back in '82
A bunch of kids with nothin' to do
Played bass, had a beat-up car
No plans of takin' it far
Messed around, got a couple of gigs
No chance of makin' it big
Some folks tried to bring us down
Didn't know we had our feet on the ground

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be nobody's tool
I ain't got the time to play the fool
Don't wanna go down in flames
So, for now, I remain, I remain

[Verse 2]
Second wind, circa '92
Took a chance and started anew
Grassroots and a common cause
Set pace and opened the doors
Case in point, it was outta control
With no sign of sellin' a soul
You break down when the stakes are high
Life sucks and we're all gonna die

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be nobody's tool
I ain't got the time to play the fool
Don't wanna go down in flames
So, for now, I remain, I remain

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be nobody's tool
I ain't got the time to play the fool
Don't wanna go down in flames
So, for now, I remain, I remain
