S.Y.L.

[Spoken intro by 3-years-old Devin Townsend]

"This is a play Devy - spelled Devy. I like me who wants to play, play to Devy? And then once there was a bear out there... a real live bear... and he... ate the kids.”

I am the coming of a new age

Past your shit by far

I was a puzzle in your sick life

But will never be a piece anymore

Because I worked through your fucking bullshit

And I worked through your fucking lies

Now I'm working on the edge

With a thousand times the stress

So I can damn you down to size

I...

...worked in your fucking warehouse

I worked in your fucking dream

I worked on the edge of the product community

And found that nothing's what it seemed

I fucking hate you [7x]

I fucking hate…

Devy worked in the corner of the piss yard

Bored and plagued by pain

Devy got a taste of the corporate community

And never went back again

I...

...worked for you fucking bastards

I worked for your fucking lies

I went and pissed away too many fucking opportunities

To try and make you fuckers feel right

I fucking hate you [7x]

I fucking hate…

[Chorus]

I am the coming of a new age

Stained, we still stand tall

I am the coming of a new age

And I will never fall

I bear the questions of a new time

Seen but never heard

I've seen the coming of a new time, get ready

'Cause here it comes

Pushing your incompetence

And racial views aside

And never now

Until death again

Is there anywhere to... hide

It starts here my friends

My brothers and sisters

The courage to show what is brave, and not to be weakened

To stand it through, by any length

To look into the eyes

And have the strength of men who say "fuck you"

I won't do what you tell me... "fuck you"

I don't care who you are... "fuck you"

I'll never stop believing... "fuck you"

And I'll never be the one who takes the heat in the name

Of the remorse that isn't pushed into a hole

Waiting now, and packing down

Into the open spaces we must go and not be frightened

As children we came, as children we go

So never look behind you, never look behind... "fuck you"

It isn't a decision... "fuck you"

It's a sign of greater things... "fuck you"

And a loss will never matter... "fuck you"

[Chorus]

I am the coming of a new age

Stained, we still stand tall

I am the coming of a new age

And I will never fall

I bear the questions of a new time

Seen but never heard

I've seen the comings of a new time, get ready...

‘Cause here it fucking comes

Strap-ping! Young! Lad!

Cheesy! Metalhead!

Go
