Started Jammin' in the Basement

Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement When I was 14 Bought a pedal It was distortion Heavy metal And I would plug it in And I'd start slammin' it Like I was punk rock With a head full of hip hop Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement I wrote my first song In the basement Before the days we all got wasted My fingers unsure Three and a half chords It didn't matter what it was all for no Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement In the basement In the basement I built a drum set out off coffee cans The next step to a rock and roll basement band Practiced our attitudes Practiced our stage moves Jumped off the couch into the crowd we're gonna have soon Oh yeah we heard it Inside of our heads We ran those songs until our fingers bled So sure of all the ways we were going to make it Someday we're gonna tell them how it started in the basement Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement Started jammin' In the basement In the basement In the basement I don't know what I would do with Out the basement Out of the basement I don't know what I would do with Out the basement Out of the basement
