WISDOM IN CHAINS LYRICS

1. Intro

You have been found guilty
Guilty of being a typical ordinary human being
Guilty because you need to be told what to think, what to do
You need to be told what to say, how to live
You are guilty
Because everything you know is a fucking bullshit lie
You will be sentenced
To live a foul displacable disgusting life amongst filthy souls
You will be condemned to drown in an ice cold ocean of lies
You will watch as all your peers disappear and die around you
One by one
There is no hope for you
Your lungs will be filled with rhetoric of your leader

2. Guilty

We're guilty
We're all guilty
We're guilty of living blind
We're guilty of living a lie

3. Bully

Hey bully
You're nothing but a bully
A bully in blue and you're always scared
You might fool some with a badge and a gun
But no one on one
No you can't fool me

You're not the good guys who serve and protect
You're just another gang wit your foot on my neck
You trample our rights to look out for your crew
But nobody's left to protect us from you

Hey bully
You're nothing but a bully
A bully ind blue and you're always scared
You might fool some with a badge and a gun
But no one on one
No you can't fool me
One on one in the street

4. Chasing The Dragon

I've been hooked since the first hit I ever took
They warned me not to go inside but I had to take a look
I stepped down into a smokey room
I'm getting stared at hard so I kept on stepping

Right up to the line just to wait my turn
I started to sweat and my eyes were burning
When I felt him through the smoke just out of sight
He said, "Son are you ready for the rest of your life?"
I said, " Gimme gimme please gimme please Mr. Pusher Man
I don't think you know what it means to me
I gotta gotta have it. Do you understand?
I gotta know how it feels when your mind is free."

Now I know how it feels to fly
My eyes are wide open and my soul's on fire
All those years I was living a lie
But last night Hardcore saved my life
There's nothing I can do and there's nothing I can say
I'll be chasing the dragon till the fire goes away
It's the truth in the anger and the feeling in the sound
For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down

Now I'm grown and I can't past it
The way I get chills when the music's blasting
I never found nothing that could move me like this
With a fist in the air I must resist
Young and old, boys and girls
In every color around the world
We gather together every couple days
To honor the ones that paved the way
Oh no I can't stop
I got marks on my skin and I'm ready to go
It's in my veins and it's in my soul
I love Hardcore Punk Rock'n'Roll

Now I know how it feels to fly
My eyes are wide open and my soul's on fire
All those years I was living a lie
But last night Hardcore saved my life
There's nothing I can do and there's nothing I can say
I'll be chasing the dragon till the fire goes away
It's the truth in the anger and the feeling in the sound
For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down

It's like my soul's on fire
For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down

5. Back To The Ocean

I look around as I stand in line
I see so many people from years gone by
But no one speaks we just smile and nod
And look at the floor with our hands in our pockets
As I fidget and play with my tie
Don't look them in the eye and you might not cry
So much love is unusual
But why's it gotta be at a funeral

This once for the Aces
They pulled me out of my darkest places
They showed me kindness and showed me love
And I never said thank you the way I should've
And now my little brother passed on
I had a lot to say but I waited too long
So I'll try to reach him with a song
Dear Mitchell, We all miss you
Thank you for the good times
And the laughter through the hard times too
I wanted to protect you since you were a kid
Just like Jonas, Dave and Vigs
But now I know it don't work like that
We gotta be honest with the time we got
I'll close my eyes and think of those who've gone
And sing it loud so they feel this song

Woah Our brothers coming home
Make sure you welcome him back to the ocean where we all belong
To much better things, a side of life we've never known
Woah Our brothers coming home
So make a place for him and wait for him right there with open arms
And tell him that I said THANK YOU

6. Perfect Day

It was a perfect kind of day
The kind you never want to end
Not a cloud in the crystal sky
Yea right what a bullshit sentiment
In a room with the curtains drawn
As the seconds ticked away
He contemplated life
To the guidance of a snub nosed .38
It was a perfect fuckin day
The kind of day you can't escape from
When the world feels dark and gray
And you know It's never gonna feel the same anymore
You can never push away the pain
Don't even try

The harder you push
The farther you drift off into space
I can hear him cry as the seconds slipped by

3 more ticks and I'll be just fine
2 more ticks and It's all behind
1 more tick to the borderline
No more ticks now your pain is mine

Now your pain has become mine
On a perfect kind of day
It was a perfect kind of day

7. SxE Dad

I gotta tell you some things before you get to old
Nothing makes me happier than playing in the road
We play basketball and skateboard morning noon and night
Throwing the football and learning how to fight

She's my hardcore girl, she's strong and beautiful
He's my hardcore boy, never listens to the rules
You're my hardcore kids and even when you bad
You make me proud to be your straight edge dad

I love you so much, I wanna teach you everything I know
About Hardcore, Punkrock, Rap and Rock'n'Roll
Stay away from drugs and always stick together
When the world turns it's back you can count on each other
That's real

8. The Cost Of Living

Who's running this world we live in
We keep screaming but nobody listens
How many times can I swallow my pride
And let blood soaked dollar control my life
keeping order with bullshit rules
The educated demons run the educated fools
The working class, we're non educated tools
They're gonna beat you down until you give in

Born in captivity but how I dreamed of liberty
I've never felt equality in this life
I've never seen morality
And I can't take it anymore
I give them everything but they still want more
The blood and sweat and tears are free
But the cost of living is killing me

Homeless sleep in their homemade coffins
But working class sees a home less often
If I was in charge like I wish I was
I'd reprioritize the world
We spend a trillion putting men on the moon
But we're dying in the streets of our capital
We gotta get out
We gotta break shit burn shit to the ground
Make them fear us when they hear the sound

Born in captivity but how I dreamed of liberty
I've never felt equality in this life
I've never seen morality
And I can't take it anymore
I give them everything but they still want more
The blood and sweat and tears are free
But the cost of living is killing me

You want power? Let's take it!
If they try to stop us we'll break them
You want power? Let's take it!
If they try to stop us we'll tear the system down!

9. Everything You Know

Look what you've become
Gaze on your disgrace
As a nation with a sickness
Rotten down to the core
And we're way beyond remission
The perfect American life
The addiction to distraction
Education, force fed lies
Religious lullabies
Everything you know
Is a fucking bullshit lie
You swallow it down
And so did I

10. The Death Of Whiskey Finger

The first time I heard of him
I was no more than 5 years old
He beat up some old lady
Took the cash and left the body in the road
They called him Whiskey Finger
He was born for the slammer
He treated everybody the same
Always down to brawl he said
"Fuck 'em all, just remember my fuckin name."
He took whatever he wanted
With no remorse or shame
He said " You wanna come strong you better come heavy
or I'll make you learn my fuckin name."
So one day Whiskey snatched some rocks
From a kid on the block
And he hid him in the weeds behind the bank
But the kid was juiced and when he turned him loose
He was getting his revenge anyway
He said "Motherfucker your time is up
I'm gonna snuff out your flame."
Whiskey said "Me and you, do what you gotta do
Just remember my fuckin name
My name is Whiskey and I was born in the gutter
I'll do anything for the fame."
But when the brothers come strong
You know they come heavy
Now he's nothing but a fucking name

11. Earth Gods

12. Tragedy

13. I Go On

Can you follow me if I fly
Will you give up life if I choose to die
Will you say my name when the time comes
Or betray your own words just to please some
Building a life only to be torn down
Pleasing the masses and bowing to the crown
Not me cause I don't care if I win
In this life I'll question everything

Woah I go
I go on and on

It could all be over as quick as you can blink
Did you ever stop and wonder?
Did you ever stop to think?
Do you really need possessions?
I don't think they matter much
My only true desire is for something I'll never touch

I got no time
No time for worrying
I got no time
No time for wasting
I got no time
No time for hesitate
I got no time
Cause it ain't my time to waste

If I could subtract a single breath
From every day that I got left
Could I ever repay that debt?
Give me an answer if you know the answer
I tried to take this world on my own
I thought my heart was made of stone
But I found out recently
The world a whole lot bigger than me

Woah I go
I go on and on
