Phil - You're turning black and blue, cause you fight without pride / this rings my battlefield, and my strength is no lie
Evan - Double mohawks and double chains / double the blood, and double the pain / a lot to lose and a lot to gain / back to the streets, or worldwide fame
chorus - You can knock me out, but you can't keep me down / cause I will rise above / man I've paid the price, yeah man I've paid the price / I've paid it back in blood / lets go!
Phil - Cause I train on the streets / the chaos feeds me / my mission is destruction and your name, it tops my list
Evan - Don't remember my face, just remember my name / you'll need something to hate when I leave you nameless / the kid that beat you from the wrong side of town / I'm the king that reign, with the golden crown
chorus
Evan - Touch gloves, fair fight / best man win at my brain / lights flash, sweat drips / eyes swell, pain rips / clench teeth, watch feet / jab one, jab two / beat this, KO / what you gonna do?! / champion of the streets!

Kingdom Come
01:36
|
|||
Cleanse it with fire!
This is the end!
I'm disgusted with the state of the world today / God come down and blow the Earth away / the bloodthirsty thieves and their corporations / the dictators, presidents, the United Nations / no point in pointing fingers, we're all to blame / I'll go down with the ship, when it goes down in flames / let our sins be the gravity that pulls us to the sun / God pass judgement and bring Kingdom Come!

Phil - Singin "unite and win!" / you start fights, it'll never end / back then you were singin "no compromise!" / now I can't see through your eyes
chorus - You're dressed to kill / no compromise / really missing out on the something that we call life
Phil - You stuck around when it was goin good / you were a friend, I was misunderstood / now the scenes dead and you're turnin your back / whatever happened to the working class?
chorus
Phil - He said, "Phil I'm getting too tired to keep this up" / I always knew he never stood a chance / life's a sham if you're livin it drunk
Evan - You've been spotted, your time is up / put your egos down cause we've had enough / the deaf don't hear their own drums, and the blind lead the blind / take your copycat style and fall in line / you wrote the book on mediocrity!

Phil - propaganda noise radio / turned into a media sideshow / you set em up and knock em down / into a nuclear winter / now no ones left to point the finger, got it?!
Listen up cause here's the battle now it on your front step / world war, apocalypse, within the next breath
Evan - genocidal maniacs/ kamikaze plane attacks / agent orange and mustard gas / nuclear bombs bring atomic death / soldier drones are burning homes / machine guns mow down the young / a million mindless marching to the drums of the one
chorus - nations deceive the brainwashed sheep they feed / terror comes knockin at your door / you can lie down, or take up arms / I still cannot believe the irrationality / fight and die! die with pride!
Phil - I follow old footsteps into a warpath / battle call, rise up, nightfall and then attack / trenches keep the chaos between a wasteland / a very real apocalypse on shell battered grounds
chorus - nations deceive the brainwashed sheep they feed / terror comes knockin at your door / take up your arms / and fight with honor!
Evan - If there's a medal for massacre, they got it / saw something moving, then they shot it / they turned off emotions, and threw away their feelings / they don't execute you up, they make sure you're kneeling / fire from the sky, acid rain / rivers of blood flow from the pain / its just like night when it rains all day / and nations are turned into massive graves
Listen up cause here's the battle now it on your front step / world war, apocalypse, within the next breath / fight and die! / die with pride!

chorus
Phil - And I'm afraid I'll walk this same block til I'm 21, but you can't help me
Evan - And you never know what is lurking round the corner
Phil - I can see the good side to the bad side of town, and I can see it all through my own jaded eyes

No future! No future! No future! No future here, there's no future here!

No, no! No way out! No, no! No way out!
Evan - Do you ever feel like you're stuck? / fallen down and you can't get up? / I've been following the same steps / going in circles / doing the same thing for way too long / in the 40 hour rate race, work to survive / slave and slave, feed the fat cats to stay alive / money makes the world go around / but I'm through with my part I gotta stop
chorus - Four walls holding me (no no) / curtains make it so I can't see out (no way out) / blind turn around the bend (no no) / now I see, but the streets a dead end (no way out)
Evan - Like a horse with its blinders on, or walking around in the thickest fog / got the numbers, but can't do the math / sleep walking through a maze, gotta find the right path / escape this place leave this town / gotta start running cause I'm hitting the ground / fight fire with fire and escape this cage / been cloudy and raining for too many days
chorus
Got no way! No way out! I got no way! No way out!
Phil - Got a life's integrity / just the way you said it'd be / these walls are burnin red / got a wrong mind set / man united we're dead
