Forum.RttP{Not Giving Up}

HERE TO STAY

Four fucking years we've been burning our time,
We're at the back of the line and we're still waiting.
All of the times of putting up with shit and now we're wading through it
And we're still hating.
This was never meant to be a garden of roses, or elitist poses,
but you've forgotten.
Now it's all about who's making the loot,
This big basket of fruit has now gone rotten.
Day by day you pave the way.
If that's what you want, then you've got it.
Everybody's talking about this and that
About tit for tat.
Well what's the story?
Unity and justice is where you build your pride and you're choosing sides
well where's the glory?
Walking so tall with your head held high.
You're in the public eye with cool things to say.
I don't have the time to deal with fools like you.
I've got work to do.
I've got bills to pay
Before you get up and tell them that I'm wrong
Why don't you shut up and listen to the fucking song.
And if you don't like it, it's just too bad.
We'll shout it strong, shout it loud.
We are the ugly and proud and if you don't like what we say
then you pay us no mind.
And stop wasting my time,
Like it or not we are here to stay.

CUP O' JOE

Pass the time, passing the time.
Wasting my time looking for the end.
Smoking like a dragon, drowning in my flagon.
Pumping like a work horse going 'round the bend.
Shouting and screaming 'til the walls go deaf.
Shaking my fire and brimstone fist.
Choking on dust as I cleanse myself.
Staining my eyes as I search myself.
I'll never, ever understand.
No one will ever, ever know.
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But cancer will probably kill me.
Filling the gaps with vice after vice.
None of which actually thrill me.

WALLS

Walks in the park, kissing in the dark.
It was all a lark- another sad old joke.
I should've known- it's happened before.
Those days of yore have taught me nothing.
Leading myself around like a little boy lost in the city of lights.
From teacher to student, Helena to Prudence.
Nights crying to my cat.
Lie on my bed of thorns, rest my head on a rock
And watch my walls turn black.
Maybe raise my empty glass to propose a toast.
Ha- the spirits gone.
Don't look back and I won't look ahead.
I've always favored the things I dread.
Glutton for punishment- that's my line.
We all have our crosses to bear.
I've tried- I've cried- don't bother me.
I've strived- I've lied- I don't want to see.
I've cheapened- I've weakened- my tanks are low.
Every failure of my life exposed.

JUST CAN'T HATE ENOUGH

Enough of your shit, I've had it up to here.
It's time I made my intentions clear.
I don't give a fuck about your skinhead pride
And I couldn't care less about the lower east side.
I'm just a working class slob who's tired
of getting the short end of the stick.
It ain't my problem if I'm not like you
And I'm not sucking Uncle Sam's dick.
You call that negative- you think I'm out of touch.
I can't stand living, I can't stand you, and I just can't hate enough.
You say my hatred has blinded me where I can't see as far as I could spit.
But that's where you're wrong 'cause I could see quite clear
And I could see that you're full of shit.

I, SPOILER

Got Jesus in the back. Dead of a heart attack.
Got Satan on his knees. I'm doing as I please.
All my life - the spoiler.
All your strife - the spoiler.
All my fun - the spoiler.
You're the one - the spoiler.
Your dreams they all are dead. I shot 'em in the head.
So don't run out on me son. Because the party's just begun.
Tell me all your problems and the way you're gonna solve them
and I'll do my best to prove you wrong.
And then you'll start to cry. And I will be the reason why.
You had me pegged right all along.
I'll ruin it for ya - I, spoiler.

BULLDOG

Gangway 'cause I'm coming through, I'll make short work out of all of you.
Slobber, I'll clobber away your blues.
When I'm punching your teeth right down your throat, you lose.
Rollin' around the neighbors lawn. Barkin' it up until the break of dawn.
Diggin' up the neighbor's grass. Takin' on the neighborhood mutts and kickin' ass.
Don't try to put no leash on me. I'm runnin' wild and I'm runnin' free.
Don't give a fuck about your laws - I'm takin' them down paws and claws.
I'm a bulldog, jack, and I don't play.
Bulldog breed fuckin' up your day. Bulldog...

NOT GIVING UP

I was never used to giving in,
but I was getting into losing.
Falling victim to my own faults,
never, ever to my choosing [and it'll happen again]
Casting out a line to an empty sea,
reeling in another fear.
Sailing on into another void.
Sailing away another year...

Now everyone can sing along.
