Lyrics
Ruthless '87
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.
Our song sounds like a high school fight song,
Why? cause we don't get along
So don't get me wrong I don't want to see your (fucking) pretty face again
Cause there's something to be said about someone
Singing the words and actually meaning them
But I got no one to impress cause all my heroes are dead,
Yeah all my heroes are dead
But I still got my friends
Ohh and they know what you said, and this song is the bounty on your head
Cause this is the resistance and it's futile to resist this
Our friends know all our songs and they're still wearing our shows wristbands
(you said) "we're nothing without you" - but you're nothing but bad for business
And I don't give second chances, did you actually think you were gonna win
Don't you know who you're messing with?
Cause these words all like weapons for an army of kids
Who wear their heart on their sleeves with a vengeance,
Completely reckless, in their search for equivalents to our hearts, electric
I'd expect to be anything but easy to traverse,
But you're what makes it so much worse
You make things so much worse it's because
Ohhh I know what you did, and this song is the bounty on your head
Cause this is the resistance and it's futile to resist this
Our friends know all our songs and they're still wearing our shows wristbands
(you said) "we're nothing without you" - but you're nothing but bad for business
And I don't give second chances, did you actually think you were gonna win
Don't you know who you're messing with?
Cause these words are like weapons for an army of kids
Who wear their heart on their sleeves with a vengeance
Completely reckless, in our search for equivalents to our hearts, electric
I'd expect it to be anything but easy Ohhh
Cause this is the resistance and it's futile to resist this
Our friends know all our songs and they're still wearing our shows wristbands
You said we're nothing without you but you're nothing but bad for business
And I don't give second chances, did you actually think you were gonna win
