Started running just as soon as my feet hit the ground
If I was looking for something
Then it's something that I still haven't found
Saw the modern age lay a generation to waste
But I swore it would never see my back bone break
Ever feel like a thief in a sleeping town
Just like there were dogs trying to track you down
Ever feel like you don't even know what to steal
Saw an emptiness behind the promise of technology
Saw it swallow up souls but it will never drop the freeze on me
Saw the chill of annihilation creep into the young
Saw it go untreated
Saw them stockpiling guns
Chorus
We're gonna steal back hope from the modern war

Common Rider sono stati una band ska punk formatasi nel 1999 da Jesse Michaels (chitarra, voce), Mass Giorgini (basso) e Dan Lumley (batteria). Il gruppo aveva un sound più morbido rispetto a quello dei Operation Ivy, la prima band di Michaels, ma conservava comunque la stessa energia e passione. Common Rider hanno pubblicato due album in studio: "Common Rider" (2001) e "The Last Ride" (2003), entrambi accolti positivamente dalla critica. La loro musica è caratterizzata da melodie ska orecchiabili, riff punk energici e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come la solitudine, l'alienazione e la ricerca di un senso nella vita. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Last Ride", "Common Rider" e "Lost in the Crowd".
