Lyrics
Alive or Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You ain't like us but you try to be
...you're a fake you're a joke, you are nothing like me
see no spirit behind the sound you play
...you're a fake...
It's still our music you abuse
...you're a fake...
it's our way of life that you misuse
...you're a fake...
On the dole, on parole - but not selling out, ALIVE OR DEAD
we won't sell our soul for a faggy rock'n'roll career
This is the way we feel
this band's for now and real
[Chorus:]
We're seeing you through
and your intentions ain't true
so fuck you, fuck you
if I was in your way
you would bury me ALIVE OR DEAD
You could hear our vows
if you came to our shows
singing fuck you, fuck you
there's too many of you yet
and you're full of shit
The bandwagon's jumped on there's one ahead
...you're a fake...
you'll be gone as fast as your name was spread
...you're a fake...
You'll play jazz tomorrow if that was hip
...you're a fake...
five minute fashion's stardom trip
...you're a fake...
there's no place among us if you wanna get
...you're a fake..
just a famous rockstar, ALIVE OR DEAD
...you're a fake...
