Working nine to five trying to make ends meet i’ve had my share of school days in hopes to live a modest life where everything’s ok. My girl - my friends - my music - i’ve got everything i need still i find it so pathetic the way we’re all racing through our lives always picking up the speed. Life’s a fucking bitch - you live - you die - get used to it you grow old - you get sick and some are gone before you know it. Life’s a fucking whore - it will screw you through the back door bring it on - this ship has long sailed offshore. Now we’re looking a few years back when we stood for revolution. No matter what they told us there was no solution. We we’re never to let go - to give up or to step back. Time has finally caught up with us disillusion and despair we slowly lowered our angry fists i guess you could say we finally came to our senses and we realized that... Life’s a fucking bitch - you live - you die - get used to it you grow old - you get sick and some are gone before you know it. Life’s a fucking whore - it will screw you through the back door bring it on - this ship has long sailed offshore. You grow old - you get sick - you live - you die - get used to it. You grow old - you get sick - you live - you die - get used to it. You grow old - you get sick and that's a load of fucking bullshit. Life’s a fucking whore - it will screw you through the back door bring it on - this ship has long sailed offshore. Life’s a fucking bitch - you live - you die - get used to it you grow old - you get sick - this ship has long sailed offshore

Cowards 04:41
Looking at a world where cowards are crowned and greeted power. Living inside-out and backwards spending precious hours screwing fancy whores while the rest of these people are waiting to go down. Looking at a peaceful sunset and hope for a better tomorrow. A day without fear of death threats corruption and tears of sorrow. Lives across the ocean are constantly ruined and demolished without a sound. Trying hard to live honestly but little do we know about certain third world country leaders on the down-low smoking big cigars while the rest of these people are waiting to go down. They’re lied to while dying in the hands of political criminals. They’re lied to while dying in the hands of political criminals. So immoral - so unethical. Trying hard to live honestly but little do we know about certain third world country leaders on the down-low smoking big cigars while the rest of these people are waiting to go down. Looking at the situation - human rights violation. The chiefs are out gambling donations handed out by the united nations. Wasting millions while the rest of their people are waiting and ready to go down. They’re lied to while dying in the hands of political criminals. They’re lied to while dying in the hands of political criminals. So immoral - so unethical. Trying hard to live an honest life seems so ironical. I swear I’ll be trying hard to live as honest and as honorable without losing hope, it’s blunt and so ironical.

it’s just not fair nor square the game has changed but the rules remained the same and these days are worsening. It’s just not right nor justified some people should be paying for their crimes that’s right - some people should be punished and serve some time. We’re on the wrong side of the cutting-edge and we’re starting to lose our grip. She can’t eat - can’t sleep - she’s losing the pace after losing the kid she was meant to raise i can’t believe we’ve actually come to this. How many kids will die from psychopaths getting off on webcam suicide, that’s right how many before we open up our eyes? We’re on the wrong side of the cutting-edge and my fingers have started to slip. She can’t eat - can’t sleep - she’s losing the pace after losing the kid she was meant to raise i can’t believe we’ve actually come to this. It’s too late to wait for the answers to come sometimes you gotta think outside the box i can’t believe we’ve actually come to this. How can they sit there and be told this is way to unusual? You make the rules so you should know it’s gotten out of control! This is getting way out of control She can’t eat - can’t sleep - she’s losing the pace after losing the kid she was meant to raise i can’t believe we’ve actually come to this. It’s too late to wait for the answers to come sometimes you gotta think outside the box i can’t believe we’ve actually come to this. This is getting way out of control!
