Lyrics

Built to Survive

You've heard about the war in my head

And I've been known to wake the dead

I'm not evil just possessed to skate

And feeling like shit, just don't feel great

Built to survive

Built to survive

Built to survive

I'm built, I'm built

I'm built to survive

So much time spent alone

And I'm still searching for my home

Built to survive

Built to survive

Built to survive

I'm built, I'm built

I'm built to survive

Had my scrapes with the law

Is that your mommy that I saw?

They tried to ban us from L.A

But every dog has his day

Built to survive

Built to survive

Built to survive

I'm built, I'm built

I'm built to survive

And we're built to survive

It's 1999 and going cyco's

All that's on my mind

Controlled by hatred lost again

What I don't need is a friend

I want more you fascist pig

We are family, we live to live

Built to survive

Built to survive

Built to survive

I'm built, I'm built

I'm built to survive
