Lyrics

Got a rule book on the fridge
Rule one says keep it down
I tore it into confetti
And I threw it all around
My amp is in the basement
My heart is in my chest
I was told to play it quiet
But I never pass that test

One, two, three, four
Knock knock on the floor

Nobody tells me what volume is
Nobody tells me when to stop
I'm turning up the basement
Till the garden gnomes all hop
Nobody tells me what volume is
I'm loud and I'm okay
Sing it out, sing it out
We are loud today

Mister Grant is at the door
With his slippers and his frown
I handed him a pair of plugs
And I turned the whole thing down
Just kidding, I turned it up
He nodded to the beat
By the second verse he's tapping
With his slippers on his feet

One, two, three, four
Knock knock on the floor

Nobody tells me what volume is
Nobody tells me when to stop
I'm turning up the basement
Till the garden gnomes all hop
Nobody tells me what volume is
I'm loud and I'm okay
Sing it out, sing it out
We are loud today

Quiet is fine
Quiet is nice
But I only get one life
And I'm using it twice
Loud, loud, loud

Nobody tells me what volume is
Nobody tells me when to stop
I'm turning up the basement
Till the garden gnomes all hop
Nobody tells me what volume is
I'm loud and I'm okay
Sing it out, sing it out
We are loud today

We are loud today
Yeah, we are loud today
