For The Record

'm not exactly proud of the place I'm from
 But I've been here my whole life, so I guess I'll call it home
 In South Carolina a flag still shows the enslavement of our minds
 But in South Carolina, I learned from all the times
 Went to all-ages shows, Sunday Matinees
 Hanging out, wondering if the bands would show and even play
 Bands would come and we'd all sing along, sing along, sing along
 Would they ever know their impact would last so long?
 The world is full of lonely places, no matter where you're from
 A crowded show, familiar faces make me feel at home
 Many kids have come and gone but I know what kept me here
 The magic of those songs has sustained me through the years
 I heard the word sincerity and I know now what that means
 I learned it first with black flag, Mohawks, combat boots and torn-up jeans
 We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song
 We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on
 We were more, you were more
 We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song
 We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on
 We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song
 We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on
 We were more, you were more for the record
