United We Stand
Crippled Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk as a crew
We're not going to split up
Because you want us to
We're brothers in our actions, beliefs, and youth
We're always together, I'm telling you the truth
UNITED WE STAND (X4)
We work together
But that doesn't mean
We won't be friends with you
If you are positive, not a negative dick
Because we're a group of friends, not a fucking clique
(chorus)
To us our friends
Are the most important thing
We live in unity
That's what I sing
Together united, but still open to you
We're all best friends, a united crew
(chorus)
