Lyrics

Everybody saying we gotta take a chance

Expressing the need to take risks and chances

And telling me what the hell went wrong

Reflecting on past mistakes and seeking an explanation

We only listen to the words that we sing

Emphasizing selective listening to the words they sing

Now a million are singing along

Celebrating a large following and widespread singing of their songs


(Last one)

Introduction to the theme of being the last one to die

We got it right, you got wrong,

Claiming correctness and resilience in the face of challenges

Were still around (last one to die)

Asserting longevity and survival despite adversity

Were going up, you're going down

Highlighting upward trajectory compared to others

Were still around (last one to die)

Reiterating resilience and outlasting others


The ones that counted us out

Pointing out those who underestimated them

Regret that they packed the fight

Expressing regret from those who doubted their success

We sit on top of the world

Claiming a position of dominance and success

And were proving it every night

Reinforcing success through consistent performance


(Last one)

Repeating the theme of being the last one to die

We got it right, you got wrong,

Reaffirming correctness and resilience

Were still around (last one to die)

Emphasizing continued existence despite challenges

Were going up, you're going down

Stating superiority over others on a downward path

Were still around (last one to die)

Reiterating endurance and survival


Through the storm and the gigs

Mentioning various experiences, both positive and negative

And the good and the bad

Affirming certainty and understanding from the beginning

There ain't no doubt

Expressing unwavering confidence and conviction

We knew from the very first show, what it was all about

Recalling the initial understanding of their purpose


(Last one)

Repeating the theme of being the last one to die

We got it right, you got wrong,

Asserting correctness and resilience once again

Were still around (last one to die)

Highlighting ongoing existence and success

Were going up, you're going down

Emphasizing superiority over those facing decline

Were still around (last one to die)

Reaffirming endurance and survival


(Last one to die)

Repeating the theme of being the last one to die

(Last one to die)

Repeating the theme for emphasis

(Come on)

Encouraging and rallying with a call to action

(Come on)

Repeating the call to action

(Come on)

-

(Last one to die)

Final emphasis on being the last one to die

(Come on)

Final call to action

(Come on)
