[Verse 1] I clock in late With a grin on my face They want my name On a line they can trace I got a hole in my shoe And a spark in my chest I don’t play by their rules I don’t do my best They say, “Stand still” I say, “Watch me move” I keep my hands in my pocket Got nothing to prove [Pre-Chorus] Raise that glass To a broken fence We laugh out loud At their big expense [Chorus] No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) We dance on the gate And we kick out the mold No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) Your paper crown falls When we take the road [Verse 2] They paint their wall With a shiny excuse I paint mine red With a bruise and a truth They build a box Then call it a home I sleep on the beat And I wander alone My brothers sing loud My sisters shout too The whole damn block Has a better view [Pre-Chorus] Raise that glass To a broken fence We laugh out loud At their big expense [Chorus] No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) We dance on the gate And we kick out the mold No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) Your paper crown falls When we take the road [Bridge] Let them count their coins We count our friends Let them lock their doors We walk right in Hand in hand We make our way A little wild A whole lot brave [Final Chorus] No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) We dance on the gate And we kick out the mold No cap on my head (hey) No leash on my soul (hey) Your paper crown falls When we take the road No cap on my head (hey) We sing it up loud (hey) Against the system With the whole damn crowd
