"Bastards On Parade" lyrics
"Bastards On Parade"
I've lost all the time that I have in this world
I spent it unwisely. Unwisely you see
And I can't get it back
And I can't move forward
I'm broken and I'm empty
It's over for me
If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
Fall to my knees pray for swiftness and just
For I'm just a fool
A fool driven to dust
And the world ain't gonna change for me
So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations
aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat
A second chance to prove I know right from wrong
I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong
[Chorus:]
So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats (bastards and cheats)
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets (down on the streets)
Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight
If you can look into this old face and try to see the young man
I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see
But I squandered all my chances
Lost my faith and took for granted
This life and precious one chance the whirlwind I'll reep
If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
Fall to my knees pray for swiftness and just
For I'm just a fool
A fool driven to dust
And the world ain't gonna change for me
[Chorus x3]

The Offspring - "Staring At The Sun" Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak...
Goldfinger - "Tijuana Sunrise" Blacked out again down in Mexico
Jose Cuervo got me again (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wasted again with El Diablo
Alcohol, my only friend (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Smash the bottles on the reef
Wash the dirt off of my feet...
The Real McKenzies - "Droppin' Like Flies" I recall back in '79 I was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
Didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't ever smoke hash
But it changed when I heard The Clash
And you know I needed more so I got
Up and out to...
Less Than Jake - "Lie To Me" What's wrong with the world today?
Can I get anybody on my page?
Count down till I lose my mind
Not a shred of faith inside
Still spelling out what went wrong
Pick up the pieces and just move on
Two...
Mustasch - "Down In Black" Don't take me out tonight
I feel afraid of life
You won't be needing me
Cause I'm so sick and tired
I just wanna die
I don't think that I'm alive
It's a long way back
When you're down
It's a long...
