Alien Ant Farm
Alien Ant Farm is an American rock band that formed in Riverside, California, United States, in 1996.

Hope
Hope is the thing I’m feeling today.
Walking a mile out of the way,
I still might make it through.
Turn on your street and see a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked.
Finding our home a house of pain.
See in an instant things can change, and never feel the same.
Turn on your street and see a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s what I’ll deliver.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s just what I’ll give you.
Trenches dug out the side of the road.
Remember the smell of earth in piles.
And there was nothing else to do but walk for miles, so I walked for miles.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s what I’ll deliver.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s just what I’ll give you.
Turn on your street and see a car.
Someone I thought was a friend to me has ripped a hole in my life.
Someone I thought was a friend to me has gone and married my wife.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s what I’ll deliver.
If that’s what you demand, then that’s just what I’ll give you.
