“Cross the Line” is the eighth song on Superchick’s album “Rock What You Got”. According to Max Hsu, he refers to a moment in Iron Man in which someone saves Tony Stark’s life while that person was dying, aptly challenging the fans to live their lives like Someone who died for us.
[Verse 1]
Follow the leader, stay in the lines
What will people think of what you've done this time?
Go with the crowd surely somebody knows
Why we're all wearing the emperor's clothes
Play it safe, play by the rules
Or don't play at all, what if you lose?
That's not the secret but I know what is:
Everybody dies, but not everyone lives
Everybody dies, but not everyone lives
[Chorus]
I'm gonna ride like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna cross that line
[Verse 2]
Everybody freeze
Don't step over the line
Don't stand up, they'll shoot down the first one who tries
Try to change the world, they'll think you're out of your mind
Revolutions start when someone crosses the line
They want us to lie down, give into the lies
Nothing has to change, and no one has to die
That's not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies but not everyone lives
Everybody dies but not everyone lives
[Chorus]
I'm gonna ride like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna cross that line
I'm gonna cross that line
I'm gonna ride like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna cross that line
[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna ride like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna cross that line
