[Verse 1]
Been through the wringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal

[Pre-Chorus]
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break

[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no -oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun

[Verse 2]
No one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No one's as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try raising the dead
We only see what's in front of us
We only see straight ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break

[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no-oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Get in my car and we'll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out
And we get along so sweetly

[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no-oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun

[Outro]
We're driving fast in my car
We're driving fast in my car
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
We're driving fast in my car
And we want just to have fun

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
