lyrics

Outcome

I'm the blind ambition of the thoughtless soul
I'm the outcome baby
I'm the roundest peg in the roundest hole
Got no room for maybe
I'm the uniform in the college dorm
I'm the regulated
And he did what he should cos he could when he should
I'm the confirmation affirmation

There's no space in my life
It is black or it is white
In the dark doubting night
It's still black or it is white

I'm the last drinks bell you believe in hell
Cos I put it there
I'm the outcome baby got no room for maybe you can stop and stare
I'm the rationale for the national
Got a guarded border
I'm the new born dawn
I'm the purest born
I'm the order order order

There's no space in my life
It is black or it is white
I'm gonna start a fight
Is it wrong or is it right

I don't want nobody telling me what to do
I don't want nobody telling me it was you
I don't want nobody telling me what to think
And I don't want nobody telling me what to drink

There's no space in my life
It is black or it is white
I'm gonna start a fight
Is it wrong or is it right

I don't want nobody telling me what to do
I don't want nobody telling me it was you
I don't want nobody telling me what to think
And I don't want nobody telling me what to drink


Cheat

I get violent when i'm fucked up
I get silent when i'm drugged up
Want excitement, don't get none, i go wild

i don't know what can be done about it
if you play the game you get nothing out of it
Find out for yourself try to be a goody goody

You better cheat cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat cheat if you can't win

Nobody knows what they are doing
It's beyond your control, an' friday night's a ruin
If you wanna survive you better learn how to lie

Don't use the rules
They're not for you, they're for the fools
And you're a fool if you don't know that
So use the rule you stupid fool

You better cheat cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat cheat if you can't win

Cheat.

We're the Cheats, The Benefit Cheats.
Just punk rockers who didn't stop, no scratch that, won't stop, it's an act of will.

Enjoy it, if you want. TBC x ... more
