Lyrics

Thugs

Fucked on arrival

Touch for survival

Realise it’s only ever thugs that get by

Lush, this is poison

Crushed by desire

Please try, understand the obvious lies

Hey, this is the beginning

Sounds, sounds like a feeling

Pressure, pressure and breathing

Risk it all, risk it all, stay alive
