[Verse 1]
When we formed this band, we wanted just to play
Seen the stupid people just wanna get in our way
Always trying to put us down
Say we're playing much too loud
But they know it's going our way

[Chorus]
We've been trying harder, harder
Want to get our way
We've been trying harder, harder
And it's gonna pay
We've been trying harder every day
And I think it's time that we got paid

[Verse 2]
When I walk alone in the city streets
It doesn't matter what kind of people I meet
They look at me like I'm some kind of freak
When I'm standing on the street
'Cause they know it's going my way

[Chorus]
We've been trying harder, harder
Want to get our way
We've been trying harder, harder
And it's gonna pay
We've been trying harder every day
And I know it's time that we got paid
[Verse 2]
When I walk alone in the city streets
It doesn't matter what kind of people I meet
They look at me like I'm some kind of freak
When I'm standing on the street
'Cause they know it's going my way

[Chorus]
We've been trying harder, harder
Want to get our way
We've been trying harder, harder
And it's gonna pay

[Outro]
We've been trying harder, harder
We've been trying harder, harder
