StrikeWriter - Stand with the Gas Can (Punk Anthem)

This song is dedicated To all the losers All the boozers The self-doubters And the bar cruisers The ones who don't give a fuck About expectations The rejects And the loners The ones that never had a chance Let's go! I'm not the bug in your system I'm not the cog in your machine I'm living to get by I'm poor and I know why Let this empire fall Let the fire burn it all! Burn it all! Life is a whore She always puts me down While I struggle every day Scraping plates for pay The liars and the cheats They squirm through the systems While we park their cars And clean their linens But I won't break And I won't bow I won't surrender Bring on a Black November I will stand tall I will stand firm I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! The wheels turn My money burn Girlfriend puts me in my place I'm just another line In this human rat race Always in the starting place They steal to my face It'll never be enough It's every drop of blood! Let this empire fall Let the fire burn it all! Burn it all! This world wants me in a box It pulls me out to serve It wants me to conform And never own a goddamn thing Always with subscriptions Always with the bills I'm just another note In the treasurer's till The boss has my arse He hands it to me daily I come home to the same Then it starts all over again But I won't break And I won't bow I won't surrender Bring on a Black November I will stand tall I will stand firm I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! The wheels turn My money burn Girlfriend puts me in my place I'm just another line In this human rat race Always in the starting place They steal to my face It'll never be enough It's every drop of blood! Let this empire fall Let the fire burn it all! Burn it all! But I am enough I am the righteous one I'll drink my coffee black I'll find the fucking hack I'm not with the trends I'm not with the times Sell me another lie And I'll keep on getting by One day we'll own it all Let this empire fall I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn! I'll stand with the gas can And watch that fucker burn
