"Life Of Vermin" lyrics

"Life Of Vermin"

The sidewinder
The fancy fool
The liar and the goon
Thorn in the side of everyone
You made me aware
Back and forth
Deny the truth and never follow through
Thorn in the side of everyone
Divide and conquer
Backslider
It's time you tasted defeat
Backslider
Can't you face it?
(Money's evil, but I think it's just the people)

Piles of gold as far as I could see
Not the same, you and me
Got found out
Number one counterfeit
All the hate that you spit
High inside ivory tower
Watch the world burn under our feet

Bury my head deep in the ground
(Deep in the ground)
To better understand the life of vermin
System's failed us and we don't even notice
Losing touch, look what we've become
Everyone is scared of everyone
(Everyone is so afraid)
More laws than order
You coward
It's time you tasted defeat
You coward
Can't you face it?

Piles of gold as far as I could see
Not the same, you and me
Got found out
Number one counterfeit
All the hate that you spit
High inside ivory tower
Watch the world burn under our feet

Far from perfect
So far, but so close to the heart
Tired? Damn right
The only thing I see
Are obedient subordinates who
Fight for their lives while
These bastards crack their side smiles
They squeeze you until you're blue
They whisper fear into the ears of
The ears of a zombie
A mindless undead army won't rise

Crazy, why deny
The spirit still left inside?
The beast that we try to hide
Crazy, but
Why surrender battles I have won?
These battles I have won?
Crazy, why deny
The spirit still left inside?
The beast that we try to hide
Crazy, but
Why surrender battles I have won?
These battles I have won

Far from perfect
So far, but so close to the heart
Tired? Damn right
The only thing I see
Are obedient subordinates who
Fight for their lives while
These bastards crack their side smiles
They squeeze you until you're blue
They whisper fear into the ears of
The ears of a zombie
A mindless undead army won't rise
