Lyrics: Rise Against. Built To Last.

Invest time, invest life
Invest it all, reinvent yourself
Before you know it
Your essence is renewed with something fresh

Your will, your way
Will earn respect in your day
Let the glory sharpened knife
Carve the future of your life

Let's not praise the past, just a fact
Built to last
Old school or the new
Doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true

Greedy ones faded fast, we're here
Built to last
For the fun, not a fad
The love and the truth so powerful

Work out the snags of the past
Work out the snags that won't last
Mistakes have finished my brothers
Mistakes will guide all the others

Your will, your way
Might shape a better day
Eradicate the stagnancy
Eradicate it like disease

As we've seen around the world
We won't go away
Cause we'll always feel this way
We're here to stay

And our impact will be felt
We won't go away
If we feel it, we feel it
We're here to stay
Built to last
