[Hook] We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! Something better than... [Verse] These dark days, government surveillance, fuck the collectors- bills they're mailing, I don't owe ya'll shit, bitch come and get me, I spent that money on rent and whiskey, cops still frisk me, night stick hit me, kiss the ground, asshole, pistol whippings, praying to gravity- hold me down, they got Jesus on the hood with a gun in his mouth, Suicide ride to the final moment, In do or die times, we shine like the chosen, Holden Caufield with the spine of Odin, holding on to hope cause hope is broken, rope around neck each breath is golden, its a cold world out there, I stay frozen, I stay frigid, best stay frosty, crossing the lines that they try and chalk me. [Hook] We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! [Verse] Wasted youth, grown up disasters, Chasing dreams so rarely captured, TV feeding need for stature Throw a brick through the screen and kill your master, These hands get dealt out to all of us, some good, some bad, learn how to bluff, never show’m what your holding, Fore they split that ass like a semi colon, Glass is half full, top me off, Stick a rag in this bitch, make a Molotov, Take a drag of the cancer, place the ember, Burn the house down, so thieves remember, This is our time, You can't steal it, These wounds are real, But they can't heal them, If you feel these words then raise a fist, We tryin to live life, not just exist! [Hook] We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! Something better than... [Verse] Days lost to the debts we owe, Getting jerked by the banks and the CEOs, Who keep a boot in the back of the working folks, Telling us lies disguised as hope Times up, these grains of sands, keep slipping through fingers of broken hands, pictures that linger, the winter of man, splinters in skin, dismemberment plans, pull the pin and pass me a gram, spin on god's finger, laugh with the damned, tall cans, long nights, lives lived, on ice, dead men walking talking ether, I am all things, peep my features, creature stalking across the pavement, a mad man's bad hand gladly waving, saving graces, sleeves and aces, pass me the ratchet, take these paces, ten long, turn and shoot, Aim for the head, but you can't kill the truth, Aim and shoot! Aim and shoot! Pull that trigger, aim and shoot, You might hit the head, But you can't kill the truth. [Hook] We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! We live, we die, we strive for something better than! Something better than...
