Bastards

[Verse 1]

Yesterday, I told my sons

"Sometimes, the bad guys win"

And that it made me scared

About the world that we live in

But I had to reassure them

That it wouldn't be for long

"Sons, we have to be ourselves

We have to be strong"

I said, "Boys you are the future

So, let this be a lesson

There may come a day

You have to fight off their aggression"

'Cause fear and hatred won today

The darkness ate the light

But both of you look in my eyes

It'll be all right

In every step you take

I'm with you all the way

'Cause I would die for you

To do what's right for you

In hopes that when I'm gone

You'll carry on

These words I wrote for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Till then... I'll sing

[Chorus]

"Stand your ground

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Be bold, be strange

Don't let their fears make you afraid

There's hope they'll change"

[Verse 2]

Well, I looked out to the world today

Thought, "What a bloody mess!"

They stripped our morals from us

Put 'em under house arrest

And "liberty" and "country"

Are the words they need to speak

A little "God," a little "freedom"

If we don't agree, we're weak

And every politician stood there

Idle and so smug

Empowering the racists

And Second Amendment thugs

Wall Street and the billionaires

Convinced us they're so smart

Saying, "Vote with your wallet

Instead of with your hearts!"

But we won't go away!

You won't forget our name!

The pussy generation

The PC and the brave

The protesters that slink along

The streets of misery

[Pre-Chorus]

And so... I'll sing

[Chorus]

"Stand your ground

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Be bold, be strange

Don't let their fears make you afraid

There's hope they'll change

We'll change

Change"

[Bridge]

No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)

No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)

No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)

[Verse 3]

So, give us all your faggots

And your niggas, and your spics

Give us all your Muslims

The so-called terrorists

We'll welcome 'em with open arms

And put 'em in our mix

We're better off together now

Embrace our difference

Remember there is love!

Our words can stop their guns

Forget the rednecks

Living in the past

We're never going back now

We've reached critical mass

[Pre-Chorus]

And so... I'll sing

[Chorus]

"Stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

I'm bold, I'm strange

Won't let their fears make me afraid

There's hope... we'll change"
