I Don't Care

You try to tell me how to act
You try to tell me who to be
You try to tell me what to think
Like you’ve got something over me
You act like you’re never wrong
Always telling me to go along
Your opinion is something else
You think so highly of your damn self
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
After all you have said
After all you have done
After all the shit I took
Did you think that I could forgive anyone?
After all the lies you’ve told
All your bullshit’s getting old
Like no one would catch you out
All the words that you have put in my mouth
Solo - Ben
Solo - Chris
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter what you say
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
I don’t give a shit about you anyway
It doesn’t matter what you do
I never give a fuck about you
You can try to hold on tight
You’re never gonna be anything in my eyes

It's Alright
03:18

Bash my head against the wall, nothing comes to mind
Tumbleweeds roll past and I think I’m going blind
Empty heads, nothing left, nothing seems right
Drive myself crazy with another lonely night
Playing with yourself’s a good way to waste your life
Going out, on the town, no sign of friends of mine
All the clubs are full of girls but no one gives me time
Another glass of whiskey and I think I just might...
Go home by myself tonight
It’s alright, I’m alone again
I’m alright on my own, I pretend
Solo - Ben
Staggering home I’m drunk as fuck tonight
Everyone I see is just looking for a fight
Another waste of time and I think I just might...
Go home by myself tonight
It’s alright, I’m alone again
I’m alright on my own, I pretend

Danger to Society
03:19
|
|||
|
Born and raised in such decay
No escaping from their wicked ways
From day one, blink and it’s gone
Can’t shake the feeling you’re the only one
Panic attack, when you look back
No denying it ‘cause it’s a fact
A new nightmare, devil may care
You’re convinced that your life’s not fair
Another fight, a constant blight
No understanding of wrong or right
Insanity, profanity
Just a danger to society
Truth be told, you’ve sold your soul
No one can hear you scream out in the cold
Shuffling half dead, fucked in the head
You’ve never listened to a word they said
Another fight, a constant blight
No understanding of wrong or right
Insanity, profanity
Just a menace to society
No chance at birth, no chance at life
From first breath to your last night
Climb that ladder or prepare to fight
First round begins at adult height
Keep on climbing, don’t ever stop
‘Cause if you do then you’re gonna drop
They push you hard, so you push back
You’ll always be under attack
Solo - Ben

Look at Me Now
02:59
|

|
So take a Look at me now
Take look at me now
You told me I would fail
But it looks like I actually prevailed
You never gave me a chance
You were always against me
But from your hatred
I chose to escape and break free
What were you thinking?
What were you trying to do?
You thought that no one
Could do better…better than you
So take a look at me now
Take look at me now
More than you expected
Eat your words you stand corrected
You can see what I’ve done
You can see my achievements
Standing here with my friends
Looks like I caused you some grievance
But when you look back
The fact of it all
The bigger you think you are
Its certain the harder you’ll fall
With all of the lies, and all of the bullshit
You sure knew how to, make me resent it
With all of the prejudice, all the abuse
All that it taught me, was to live and stay loose
Solo - Ben
So take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
I'm on the world stage
I hope it’s filling you up with rage
So take a look at me now
Fucking look at me now
Just fucking look...at me now!
