Barring my confusion 
Disarray and disillusion 
Working overtime 
giving up what's mine 

Yeah, panic in the streets now 
Party's in the basement 
We scream for entertainment 
Riots in the backyard 
Feel it from the pavement 
Products of our environment 

If you wanna give up from the start 
If you wanna watch it fall apart 
If you wanna let it break your heart 
But if you start now then you will never stop it 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 
We're alive 

Permanant vacation 
Loss of breath and suffocation 
Turn it up to ten 
fueled by medicine 

Yeah, panic in the streets now 
Party's in the basement 
We scream for entertainment 
Riots in the backyard 
Feel it from the pavement 
Products of our environment 

If you wanna give up from the start 
If you wanna watch it fall apart 
If you wanna let it break your heart 
But if you start now then you will never stop it 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 
We're alive 

Take a ride on the freak side, caught in a riptide 
Pulling us down, leave your heart by the wayside 
motivation, hestitation 
Never have to lose but a punk rock nation 

Sound the alarm cause' the tides are turning 
To weather the storm with the rep we're earning 
Try and stay calm with the music turnin' 
Farewell to all of the bridges we're burning 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 

We're taking what we need 
Party til' we bleed 
Begging on our knees 
Panic in the streets 
Tonight, tonight we're alive 
We're alive
