RISE & GRIND

Stand up straight
Stand up straight
Lying down
Was my mistake

Faith and hope
Faith and hope
Fooled by liars
Rope-a-dope

Trouble and strife
Trouble and strife
Heart was broken
Cuts like a knife

Tears and laughter
Tears and laughter
Disguising their misery
As happy ever after

Walls and fences
Walls and fences
For these abusers
There will be consequences

Rise and grind
Rise and grind
Drive these fuckers
Out they're minds

Head held high
Head held high
We pray for those
About to die

Pipes and drums
Pipes and drums
Something wicked
This way comes

Sword and shield
Sword and shield
This the last time
I will ever yield

No surrender, no retreat
No surrender, no retreat
They are only, loveless
Bags of meat

Love and hate
Love and hate
Time to call them out
Time to get irate

Punishment assigned
Punishment assigned
Drop the dead donkeys
Leave them all behind

Shun and fuck them
Shun and fuck them
Vengeance will be swift
As I now condemn

Rise and grind
Love and honour
Sword and shield
Pipes and drums
No surrender, no retreat
The white flag now a black flag
Take no prisoners
Take no shit
Not any more
The sweetest revenge
Despite their wishful thinking
Is to live
Love and be happy
As they wallow
In a mud bath of misery
That makes me smile
