No Permit Club (NPC)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Badge on the wall But the ink ran thin Paper said “pause” Like I can’t get in Had a shaky hand On a rough range day Now they’re takin’ my card Like they took my say [Pre-Chorus] I thought I’m out of the fight Felt that door slam shut But then I heard the sound Of a hundred boots stomp [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, that’s me) You had a bad day? You can still stand tough No permit? No problem Friend We fall down Line back up again Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, that’s home) You ain’t the only one Walking in unarmed but never alone [Verse 2] Coffee in hand Target in the bin Laughin’ at the flyer With the wide-group grin “Hey I’ve been there” Says the guy next stall “Failed that drill twice Still came back strong” (oh yeah) [Pre-Chorus] We trade our stories like scars Turn that doubt into jokes You can lose your card You can’t lose your hope [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, that’s me) You had a bad day? You can still stand tough No permit? No problem Friend We fall down Line back up again Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, that’s home) You ain’t the only one Walking in unarmed but never alone [Bridge] This is just a timeout Not the end of your name We’ll train ‘til the sun’s out Sharpen steel in the rain When the door swings open You’ll be ready to roll ‘Cause you found a whole squad While you carried that load [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, that’s me) You had a bad day? You can still stand tough No permit? No problem Friend We fall down Line back up again Welcome to the No Permit Club (NPC, let’s go) Raise your empty hands You’re still standing strong No permit? No problem See We got a place right here In the NPC (hey!)
