Grab Your Axe Lyrics yesteryear I smashed a guitar in the street the pieces sitting in a box have left the music incomplete push back all of the quiet songs attack with the distortion on grab your axe this is not the time to relax awhile ago I yelled in their faces for ignorance now benefit of the doubt clouds the youthful innocence forget all your complacency upset everyone who agrees grab your axe this is not the time to relax tempo used to always increase with the nerves now the energy of the tune has the boredom it deserves cut down every cautious trend confound each little lazy friend grab your axe this is not the time to relax push back all of the quiet songs attack with the distortion on grab your axe this is not the time to relax
