[Intro]
Chicago!

[Verse 1]
Oh no, I just keep on falling
(Back to the same old)
And where's hope, when misery comes crawling
(Oh, my way)
With your faith, you'll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
And kill off this common sense of mine

[Pre-Hook]
It takes acquired minds
To taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can't down it with your eyes
So we don't need the headlines
We don't need the headlines, we just want
We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back

[Hook]
Everybody sing
Like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live
Like it's the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

[Verse 2]
Right now, you're the only reason
(I'm not letting go)
And time out if everyone's worth pleasing
You'll trigger a landslide
Victory
To kill off their finite state of mind

[Pre-Hook]
And it takes acquired minds
To taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can't down it with your eyes
So we don't meet the headlines
No, we don't want your headlines, we just want
(We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)

[Hook]
Everybody sing
Like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live
Like it's the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing
Like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?
Woo!

[Verse 3]
Well alright, so you think you're ready
OK, then you say this with me, go
We were born for this (we were born for this)
Well alright, so you think you're ready
Chicago, I can't hear you!
We were born for what?! (we were born for this)
We were born–let's go! (we were born for this)
We were born for, we were born for

[Hook]
(Everybody sing)
Like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live
Like it's the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing
Like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure?
I know you do, come on!

[Refrain]
We were born for this!
We were born for this!

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.
