"No Compromise" lyrics

"No Compromise"

We're untouchable, a breed of our own
In kinship between those who live on the outside
No expectations, no extra weight
Only idiots nurture a dying dream
Make no mistake
A world separates our realities

It'll all end in tears
The remorseful subside & decline
Generations of deadbeat passive receptacles
Drooling in front of their glowing screens

There is nothing to say
Stand down
We have nothing to prove
Our statement is made:

We will not
Give in, accept, comply
No way out
No compromise

Stand up
Face agony
My life
Can be more than a lie
I pledge
Allegiance to none
My Life
Is mine alone

Caught between the percieved
And the physical facts
They remain paralyzed
An appropriate ending?
Life denied for a pale substitute
Ask me! I will answer you honestly
Swear by the flag and the bible
And my own mothers grave
If you get to the bitch before I do

We will not
Give in, accept, comply
No way out
No compromise
