We're Gunna Take on the World
Punk Spirit Triumph: Mustard Plug's Journey to Conquer the World
Lyrics
Open up your ears my friend
Expressing the need for attention and receptiveness to a story.
Ill tell you a story that never ends
Describing a narrative that is timeless and perpetual.
About the band that plays for you now
Introducing the band that is currently performing.
It started back in 91
Referencing the band's inception year, 1991.
Started playin just for fun
Highlighting the initial motive of playing music for enjoyment.
And couldnt stop ourselves, didn't know how
Expressing the difficulty in stopping the music, driven by passion.
Then we began playing shows
Transitioning to performing live shows.
And kids started tapping their toes
Noting the positive response from the audience.
And people kept askin for more
Describing growing demand for more performances.
And even though we really sucked
Acknowledging initial challenges and lack of skill.
We kept it up, didn't give a fuck
Emphasizing persistence despite difficulties.
Cause that's what the music is for
Affirming that the essence of music is perseverance.
Were gunna take on the world
Declaring the band's ambition to conquer the world.
Common, Every boy, Every girl
Encouraging every boy and girl to join in the endeavor.
Were gunna take on the world
Reiterating the determination to take on the world.
Common, Every boy, Every girl
Encouraging universal participation in the pursuit of success.
Then a man from Hollywood
Introducing an offer from a Hollywood representative.
He said to sign, he said we should
Advising the band to sign a lucrative deal.
But we were to drunk to respond
Revealing the band's intoxicated state hindering a response.
You'll be so rich yeah said the man
Quoting the promised wealth and success from the Hollywood offer.
You'll get a bus and leave the van
Mentioning the prospect of upgrading to a bus from a van.
But we were too punk to move on
Declining the mainstream path due to punk principles.
So we went back on the road
Returning to touring after the Hollywood encounter.
And kids kept on coming to shows
Continuing to attract audiences at live shows.
We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer
Describing the band's activities on the road.
And so it goes, well never stop
Expressing an unwavering commitment to the musical journey.
We'll tour til we reach the top
Committing to touring until reaching the pinnacle of success.
Well tour til the end of our years...
Emphasizing a lifelong dedication to touring.
