Verse 1 Coffee in the kitchen, black as night Old men’s stories, scars from every fight They talked of storms, of bones that cracked I laughed so hard… now I want that laughter back --- Chorus (HÅRDT & STORT) I hit the jackpot in the gene pool game! No gold, just pills and a back in flames A spine like an anthem in a minor key Now I walk like the ghost of my family tree! --- Verse 2 I mocked my father when he said, “I’m done” Now I’m the crippled one, crawling through the sun Steel in my knees, and it’s grinding slow I’m the punchline to the joke I used to throw --- Bridge (LOW – TENSION BUILD) Mama said: “Boy, you’re built that way” Daddy grinned: “It’s hell, but you’ll learn to play” I swore I’d break the chain, raise the flag But here I am, with a spine like a broken rag! --- Stick (FULL BLAST – CROWD ANTHEM) So we sing, so we scream, what else can we do? Life’s a war, so we fight it through Raise that glass and let the thunder roar We’re the old men we once cursed before! --- Verse 3 (JUST BEFORE THE FINAL HIT) Take your meds, grab your leather and steel Crank the amps till the walls can feel Even when we stumble, even when we bleed We’re alive, and we’ll burn till the last damn beat! --- Final Chorus (MAX IMPACT – BIG MODULATION) I hit the jackpot in the gene pool game! No crown, just scars and a burning flame A spine like a bridge that’s breaking free And I howl like a wolf through my family tree! TAG OUT (gang vocals, double kicks, guitars): GENE POOL GAME! – (HEY!) GENE POOL GAME! – (HEY!) GENE POOL GAME! – (YEAH!) (Fade on feedback, drums pounding, gang shouts.)
