lyrics
Do it they said
You’ve got talent, you’ve got charisma
You’ve got balls
Well fuck you, I don’t answer when government calls
Forced to fend
For myself in the eye of the whole wide world
When will it end?
Takes a big man to admit he needs his friends
Running for your life
A totalitarian state, fuelled by hate
Of the underdogs
The foreign and the poor - oppressed once more
No pain, no gain
Government scum will make us run
For our basic human rights
Go ahead do it 'fore we all lose our heads
Belittled by fiends
Hell bent on withholding what by rights
Should be mine
You cold blooded bastards, I’ll break your goddamn spines
Christmas Tree
This saw’s a part of me, I’ll make it a part of you
Keep it
I’m Ben Richards - I’m one mean motherfucker
Dropped like vermin into a maze
Got a Christmas Tree driller killer giving me chase
Had a custom-made buzzsaw blade pushed in my face
And I'm running like a demon to get out of this place
Punished for a crime that I didn't commit
They said I was a butcher but that's fucking bullshit
Now I'm running for my life on live TV
With a studio audience laughing at me
I can't take much more of this, I just want to be free
Got to be the grit in their oiled machine
Out of the game, destroy them and their all-controlling regime
