Black Sheep 02:55
I've been a black sheep my whole life. Always defiant. Decide for myself what's wrong, whats right. Always defiant, always ready to fight. I never needed your acceptance. Never had a fear of rejection. Bad seed, black sheep. always had a problem with authority. Bad seed, black sheep, never really fit in society. Bad seed, black sheep. always had a problem with authority. Bad seed, black sheep. taking shit never seemed right to me. We live in a society that celebrates mediocrity and ignorance. Our generation laps up bullshit like it's milk from the mothers tit, So fuck fitting in. Everyone's sun must shine on you? Well let their hatred rain down on me. Let their hatred rain on me. Let it pour thunderous and heavy. Let their hatred seep inside. Let it ease my troubled mind.

Bastard Sons 02:19
We’re the wolves knocking down your door. We are the last of the true outlaws.We are the questions you're afraid to ask. We are the demons lurking in the dark. We are the truth from which you run. We are societies bastard sons. We’re the wolves. knocking down your door. We are the last of the true outlaws. We are the freedom that has you scared. We're all fucked up but we don't car. We want to sweat we want bleed We want to fight we want to feast. Shelter your kids and cover their eyes. You better hope that they believe your lies. God forbid they end up like me. God forbid that they end up free.

If I’ve learnt one thing from this life. It’s there’s no end to the struggle and strife. Everyday I wished for a change. But every day shit stayed the same. So I gave up wishing, I gave up hope. That’s the only way that I could cope. There’s no heaven above. There’s no hell below. People don’t always reap. What they fuckin sow. There’s no such thing as justice And I can’t get no peace. The truth is cover up. With lies and by deceit. Poverty, crime, war, disease.We lie, we steal, we steal, we cheat. Poverty, crime, war, disease. There’s nothing fair in the world I see. Every day I try to be the better man. Fail myself every day, I’m damned. You gotta do what it takes to get by. You gotta do what it takes to survive At the end of the day I’m just a man. Can’t change the world but I do what I can. There’s no heaven above. There’s no hell below. People don’t always reap. What they fuckin sow.

I stare out into the endless grey. Just another beautiful Hamilton day.This fog won't lift till 2pm. When it does it starts raining again. There's no sky tower to light up the sky. No beaches, no ski fields, no scenic drives. None of that shit even matters to me.This is my home and it always will be. Welcome to the promised land. It's a bit rugged it's a bit rough Welcome to the promised land. I can't get enough. Welcome to the promised land. It's a bit rugged it's a bit rough. Welcome to the promised land. We don't give a fuck. Heard of a dead end town? Well this is a dead end city. I guess from the outside. Things seem kinda shitty. Misery loves company. Maybe that's why this city's right for me. Smell the desperation in the air. Things aren't always easy 'round here. That's what I love about this place. The heart of gold behind it's weathered face. I love this city for all that it gave me. These friends, this music, they fuckin' saved me. Welcome to the promised land. It's a bit rugged it's a bit rough. Welcome to the promised land. I can't get enough. Welcome to the promised land. It's a bit rugged it's a bit rough.Welcome to the promised land. We don't give a fuck.

Wild Life 02:33
Cursed with the burden of a lust for life. Cursed with a hunger I cant satisfy. Cursed with the burden of an honest mind. Cursed with a passion that I can't hide. I live for the madness, for moments like this. Live for the chaos, in love with my sin. I need to see the world in all its glory. A mundane life would only bore me. Made a deal with the devil. Many years ago He showed me true freedom. I gave him my soul. I want to live a wild life. I want to live truly free. I want live a wild life. I want to live like a beast.

Let Me Burn 02:23
I wasted seventeen years of my life. Believing in some magic man in the sky. Someone I know doesn't exist. And if he does he's a selfish son of a bitch. Let me burn, Let me burn, get up off your fucking knees. Let me burn, Let me burn, don't waste your time on praying for me. Let me burn, Let me burn, I made my choice, won't turn back now. Let me burn, Let me burn, If your gods real then I'll burn in hell. How can you believe in a god that cares One that should be worshiped and even feared. Just look around at what he created. If your god's real then he should be hated.... and I hate that fuckin' cunt. Tell your god I don't wanna be saved. Heaven's not worth life as a slave. Tell your god fuck eternal life. I'd rather live free and one day die. Tell your god I don't need false hope. I've seen the truth and I've learned to cope. Tell your god I don't want forgiveness. Tell that motherfucker to mind his business. Let me burn, Let me burn, get up off your fucking knees. Let me burn, Let me burn, don't waste your time on praying for me. Let me burn, Let me burn, I made my choice, won't turn back now. Let me burn, Let me burn, If your gods real then I'll burn in hell. Let me burn!

Don't worry bout the future. It may not come. Don't worry bout the past cos that shits done. I just wanna hang out with my bro's. Gonna hit the road and play some shows. I get up to another day of grey sky’s. My body aches and the air feels like ice. Another day, another day, another dollar. Sometimes I wonder why  I even bother. It’s just the same old shit every day. My jobs not that bad, it’s just mundane. The drone of the factory rings in my ears. I hope I’m not wasting my best years. The beauty I see in my dead end job is It’s all over when i knock off. I love the freedom of my lifestyle. It makes the work days seem worthwhile. I’ve just got to make it to the end of the day. I’ve got things I wanna do so I need that pay. I’ve just got to make it to the end of the day. Got things I wanna do so I need that pay. Don't worry bout the future. It may not come. Don't worry bout the past cos that shits done. I just wanna hang out with my bro's. Hit the road and play some shows Play some shows!

Everybody's dying on this earth. Condemned to the grave from their birth. When you embrace your mortality. Hopelessness will set you free. I don’t believe in the after life. Believe you're dead when you fuckin die. Don't really care bout gaining possessions. And I'm not after rewards in heaven. The only point of life is to live. Experience all it has to give. I’m living life with no regrets. Take my chances and do my best. I was born free I refuse to be bound. By a fear of death that holds you down. I'm not sayin that I want to die Just that death doesn't play on my mind. One day ill be buried. Or I'll be fuckin burn. Ill pollute the air outside. Or I'll be food for worms. It could be tomorrow. Or in fifty fucking years. You cant dodge the reaper. By living in fear. I was born free I refuse to be bound. By a fear of death that holds you down. I'm not sayin that I want to die. Just that death doesn't play on my mind. Everybody's dying on this earth. Condemned to the grave from their birth. When you embrace your mortality. Hopelessness will set you free.

Solitude 02:41
You motherfuckers are all the same. The sound of your voice is causing me pain. To me you seem like you're a fraud. You seem excited, well I'm just bored. Can't you see we've got nothing in common. Antisocial I've got problems. Don't wanna talk or be polite. I see the world through different eyes. Drown me in my solitude, I don't need to be rescued Leave me to my misery, I don't need you saving me. Drown me in my solitude, I don't need to be rescued. Leave me to my misery, I don't need you saving me. In a world where I can't relate. Isolation's my escape. Sometimes I just wanna be alone. Just wanna be on my fuckin' own. Sometimes I like to be by myself. Stay inside and shut everyone out. Sometimes I just wanna be alone. Just wanna be on my fuckin' own.
