Bastards

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yesterday, I told my sons "Sometimes, the bad guys win" And that it made me scared About the world that we live in But I had to reassure them That it wouldn't be for long "Sons, we have to be ourselves We have to be strong" I said, "Boys you are the future So, let this be a lesson There may come a day You have to fight off their aggression" 'Cause fear and hatred won today The darkness ate the light But both of you look in my eyes It'll be all right In every step you take I'm with you all the way 'Cause I would die for you To do what's right for you In hopes that when I'm gone You'll carry on These words I wrote for you [Pre-Chorus] Till then... I'll sing [Chorus] "Stand your ground Don't let the bastards grind you down Be bold, be strange Don't let their fears make you afraid There's hope they'll change" [Verse 2] Well, I looked out to the world today Thought, "What a bloody mess!" They stripped our morals from us Put 'em under house arrest And "liberty" and "country" Are the words they need to speak A little "God," a little "freedom" If we don't agree, we're weak And every politician stood there Idle and so smug Empowering the racists And Second Amendment thugs Wall Street and the billionaires Convinced us they're so smart Saying, "Vote with your wallet Instead of with your hearts!" But we won't go away! You won't forget our name! The pussy generation The PC and the brave The protesters that slink along The streets of misery [Pre-Chorus] And so... I'll sing [Chorus] "Stand your ground Don't let the bastards grind you down Be bold, be strange Don't let their fears make you afraid There's hope they'll change We'll change Change" [Bridge] No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!) No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!) No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!) [Verse 3] So, give us all your faggots And your niggas, and your spics Give us all your Muslims The so-called terrorists We'll welcome 'em with open arms And put 'em in our mix We're better off together now Embrace our difference Remember there is love! Our words can stop their guns Forget the rednecks Living in the past We're never going back now We've reached critical mass [Pre-Chorus] And so... I'll sing [Chorus] "Stand my ground Won't let the bastards grind me down I'm bold, I'm strange Won't let their fears make me afraid There's hope... we'll change"
