Anti-Flag – This Is the First Night lyrics
This is the first night of the rest of our lives
I can't help wonder, how is it we're still alive?
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives
Oh yeah, and I said
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

We stayed up all night long, laughing, singing in the streets
Oh yeah, you know
The Clash, Ramones, the Pogues
Our voices hoarse, our bodies weak and ready for sleep
Lean against me; wipe your bloodshot eyes as I wipe mine
And from these rooftops, we'll watch the sun rise
Ain't this the life?

Yeah, it's the first night of the rest of our lives
I can't help wonder, how is it we're still alive?
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

With just a half tank of gas, 150 miles to go
No cash, no food
We turned the engine off every time we went downhill
And it's on with the show
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Oh no, I don't
All I know is that I am alive, I'm really alive!

And it's the first night of the rest of our lives
I can't help wonder, how is it we're still alive?
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives
Oh yeah, and I said
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

We heard "You there!" and jumped from the train
Ran up the tracks
All the while you screaming back, "Kiss my ass!"
We're living our lives, I'm living,
And yeah, I'm doing fine,
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm doing fine!

And it's the first night of the rest of our lives
I can't help wonder, how is it we're still alive?
Oh, welcome to the first night of the rest...
Let's hope this night of nights won't be our last
Yeah, welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives
Oh, goodbye
