The Mighty Regis - Them Bastards lyrics

Born in the church near a town with no religion I asked them for the man they say he ain't been here in years Lived the life of a soldier part hoodlum and a blackheart Saw the hurting I had done choked back my f**ing tears (Chorus) Someone take me from this road The snake-filled path I can't escape Listen to the signs or so I'm told And leave the ba*tards in your wake For my part no reward I look the wicked dead in the eyes Courage stares them down I run but still ain't left this place Truth will often miss to words angered that I can't fight the world Not a saint a novice sinner maybe this time it's not a race My shoulders are crooked flogged my back with misfortune It's no one's bloody fault look for the villain am I stone blind Lighting strikes here not there the pain you can't help but smile I wear no goddamn crown so why the tired heavy mind (Chorus) Walk with jokers helped out thieves wasted time on redemption Confessed all that I done but misdemeanors don't weigh much Being bad at doing good the struggle I'm battling shadow Try to talk and fool myself but I've lost my lying tough (Chorus) Go to the river to clean look down at the man in the water What happened to that child did I lose him along my way Stand and know my task the second road it won't be easy Know that light will follow dark that's all there's left to say (Chorus) And leave the ba*tards in your wake And leave the ba*tards in your wake
