And I got nothing, the only engine driving, To get up and Go, are the empty Forty ounces on the stove What's left to say, When the Bottle's always closer than the bills? Nobody learns from this. And it's nothin' but alright.

No hope for fucking in the gutter, Making comrades with the loudest noise, Or the girl with her hair in tiers, Turns business men to business boys I was told to take precautions, but the knowledge went unheeded If there's wisdom in your bones it will tell you all that's needed Metal shavings in your arms line the gaps between your fingerprints, Exhaustion starves all of your dreams, but passion is intrisic Still, am I to be contented by expressions of indifferenece? Am I to be contented by this? I will not be contested frightened When liberty kills ability, I want clarity Destroy false divinity So Papa took his gun, and he threw it in the backyard pond Said "Son, if you want to seal your fate, then fish it out when you are done." I took it to face value, and now I will call this place home Even though we've killed all our facades, I'll chase this dream and not the rope. Still, am I to be contented by expressions of indifference?

It's fine! We'll host your execution with a broadcast just in time, For your crimes, to be properly introduced and recognized At last, we don't have to tell you that defeat is a war crime, And now we'll throw you a healthy sum if your death is televised, Because all you really did was let us know that we're alive, And for that the grieving families hold the right to watch you die. Life sucks. So why are you complaining? With a body hanging from the trees, It'd be worse if it were raining. Life sucks. Why are you complaining? Long live the long gone, No point in us remaining These are songs about outdated politic, Where anarchy works out for us, and Every success, is a "thank you" For a thousand failures. Behind all of these hopes and wails is us putting in the time, For fucking off for far too long with unacknowledged crime. Now my bloody ass is hung and there ain't much left to do, But be glad there's a world this much less safe for thugs like me and you!

about

A lonely young man awakes from a drunken stupor one day and decides to chase his dreams and speak out against a corrupt government, only to witness an execution by firing squad outside of his home. Loosely based on Grog, a minor character from The Legend of Zelda series of Nintendo video games.
