[Verse 1]
Antenna bent low
Over tenement smoke
You rev through the block
With a grin and a choke
Steel on the rack
Knee kissing the bend
White line blur
Till the corner won’t end
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands in the air
When the night starts to shake
We are the spark
That the sirens can’t take
[Chorus]
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
Wind in the mouth
And fire in the lungs
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
We are the crew
We don’t run, we run
[Verse 2]
My coat’s got dust
From the yard and the rain
Your violin cuts
Like a blade through the chain
We count every bridge
Every shutter and gate
Then we break out laughing
At the edge of the state
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands in the air
When the night starts to shake
We are the spark
That the sirens can’t take
[Chorus]
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
Wind in the mouth
And fire in the lungs
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
We are the crew
We don’t run, we run
[Bridge]
Corner by corner
We carve our own name
Knee to the asphalt
We burn just the same
No throne, no chain
Just a pulse and a friend
When the city goes cold
We come back again
[Final Chorus]
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
Wind in the mouth
And fire in the lungs
Ride for the free ones
Ride for the free ones
Love in the steel
And speed in the blood
