Beat the Bastards

Get up... Get the hell on outta here

Cut the ropes that bind you

Stand up... straight into your fear

Leave the past behind you

Your cautious ways...have spawned your nothing

Life...is just an empty stage

Where do you go from here

Living...puts the words upon the page

Open to a new frontier

Your mundane life... is history

You'll seize the day... it's mystery

[Chorus:]

Cut the ripcord... don't look back

Burn the bridges down

Grab the handle... clench your fist

Beat the bastards down

Fire... There's fire in your heart

Flames of passion burn

Higher... raging from the start

And now there's no return

Go have your way... your fantasy

Embrace the day... it's destiny

[Chorus:]

Cut the ripcord...don't look back

Burn the bridges down

Grab the handle...clench your fist

Beat the bastards down

Cut the ripcord, no turning back

Bum the bridges down

Grab the handle... Crack the whip

Beat the bastards down beat em' down

[Solo]

[Chorus:]

Cut the ripcord... don't look back

Burn the bridges down

Grab the handle... clench your fist

Beat the bastards down

Cut the ripcord, no turning back

Burn the bridges down

Grab the handle... Crack the whip

Beat the bastards down

Beat em' down
