Part of the Problem

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

Don't Be a Victim

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

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

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

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

Irish Screwdriver

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
