Buy your food, pay your rent Then complain about some money that you spent On booze, weed and shit that you don't need Just confused greed for shit that you don't need I guess that makes you part of the problem I hear what you're saying but it sounds like you're full of shit He's got the boots, the braces and look at his hair Hangs around with racists and he doesn't even care Well we taught him a lesson, kicked in his head Don't complain to us, you're the one that broke the bread We probably stopped him from being part of the problem I hear what you're saying and it sounds like you're full of shit

If that's how your story goes I know which side you chose And I can have the version that nobody knows There's no redemption Without attention The case won't close There's a crowd and they need a show Truth is I refuse To let bruises define me These scars may mark the path The map could help you find me We won't get tied down We won't find it confining It's your crime but we'll choose the time for reminding Let's make one thing very very clear You have no authority here You can try to impose But all these doors will stay closed You have no control and no fear Won't be Won't be a victim Total control of our life that's how we're living We don't eve We don't even listen Your advice is nice it isn't wisdom Won't be Won't be a victim Total control of our life that's how we're living We don't eve We don't even listen Your advice is nice it isn't wisdom So you can shove it Hate it or love it I'm a go my own way and you can stay A little bitter Runt of the litter We can play while you don't have any say Control the narrative There's no comparison You don't get to decide what's embarrassing I still walk the street Using my own feet We hear the drummer and we're dancing to a different beat Let's make one thing very very clear You have no authority here You can try to impose But all our doors will stay closed You have no control and no fear Won't be Won't be a victim Total control of our life that's how we're living We don't eve We don't even listen Your advice is nice it isn't wisdom Won't be Won't be a victim Total control of our life that's how we're living We don't eve We don't even listen Your advice is nice it isn't wisdom

Born to Win 01:56
Rags to riches He who dares This time next year we'll be millionaires Don't hold your breath Have a plan b For me it's either this or the cemetery When I shut my mouth and put down my guitar That's the day that I die Your life was over before it begun You didn't even try When you're down this low there's nowhere you can go but up If you say so I really don't give a Some were born to lose We were born to win We'll hit the ground running and we'll never give in Don't call it luck We were born to win A little poverty Doesn't bother me Unless it gets in the way of my company Got no money And won't win the lottery Don't need any of it to comfort me I won't turn the page Be a slave to the wage I'll always act my shoe size and never my age But I'm never alone I don't have no fear We're already making our way out of here When you're down this low there's nowhere you can go but up If you say so I really don't give a Some were born to lose We were born to win I hit the ground running and grew a thick skin Don't call it luck We were born to win

Stand Down 02:12
I'm all about the can't stop won't stop running through your roadblocks burning all our bridges and I won't get off my soapbox scream loud but we never get our throat blocked Won't stop until there's no borders no gates no locks Still get pissed on the weekend So What See the trolls but don't tweet them So what I'm just trying to open your eyes So what Trump said there's bad on both sides You know what You don't have to act tough to be radical There's no time to lose we're not taking a sabbatical I'd rather chase community over capital It's dog eat dog now everyones a cannibal Leaves a foul taste that can't get washed away Them pushing that agenda have lost their way This is my cross to bear it's not a costume mate How much did your sense of self cost today Don't look up look around That boy there will let us down Heavy is the head that wears that crown Get out sit up speak up or stand down Don't look up look around That girl there will let us down Heavy is the head that wears that crown Get out sit up speak up or stand down Stand down rudeboy stand down If you've got a question put your hand down You really think you were gonna stand out Cause you suffered in silence then randomly shout And you wonder why nobody listens Hold up They're getting hold of your vision Hold up You say you're never gonna give in Hold up You can ask for permission I wouldnt get your hopes up They're not special don't put them on that pedestal They're not special the melody is general They're all frauds and the felony is federal And they can't be cured because the remedy ain't medical Are you on a wind up? Make your mind up Form an opinion Hold a sign up Or do you just wanna be part of the line up Better think fast Times up Don't look up look around That boy there will let us down Heavy is the head that wears that crown Get out sit up speak up or stand down Don't look up look around That girl there will let us down Heavy is the head that wears that crown Get out sit up speak up or stand down You can call it superstition I have a suspicion Ticking that petition didn't make a bit of difference You can call it superstition I have a suspicion Ticking that petition didn't make a bit of difference You can call it superstition I have a suspicion Ticking that petition didn't make a bit of difference You can call it superstition I have a suspicion Ticking that petition didn't make a bit of difference Because they formed an alliance with tyrants Under the guise of keeping an eye on the violence While they keep supplying not even hiding And they profit from your silence They're locking up the brightest Calling them pirates because they didn't get a licence You really think they didn't want to play with their new toys They're just waiting until you give them an excuse boy

Late 02:12
I don't understand I double checked the route I don't know why it's taking so long I'm so confused I'm just around the corner mate I'll see you soon But I haven't even put on my shoes Why is this happening to me With increasing frequency Everything was going great Until I realized I was running late I'm Late He was waiting I was running Now I'm in a state He's saying that I've ruined the date I was travelling at my quickest pace I didn't even have time to do up my shoelace Why is this happening to me With increasing frequency Everything was going great Then I realised I was running late I'm Late I was caught up I lost track of time Didn't think it mattered didn't pay it no mind I've done it loads before and it's always been fine Now I've got a due date End of the line Why is this happening to me It's increasing frequently Everything was going great Until I realised the date I'm Late

You read the mail in your bed Like your daily bread And you can't get over the culture clash They come here overnight They get a job on site They don't speak the language and you don't think that it's right Don't be a fool Don't let them pull the wool Don't be so easily misled I've got a useful tool If you're believing all the bull To get that shit right out of your head I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver And it's coming for you If you've got a screw loose I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver And it's coming for you If you've got a screw loose You drink your ale by the keg And you're telling all your friends How you're getting sick of the anti-fash They tell you what to say They're getting in the way It wouldn't bother you so much if they would just behave They ride around on bikes Running all the lights They take away your language and you don't think that it's right If you see the glamour of the reich There'll be a hammer in your sight I don't know why but I don't like them I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver And it's coming for you If you've got a screw loose I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver I've got an Irish screwdriver And it's coming for you If you've got a screw loose Hit the nail on the head You're failing the test Not ready for the backlash
