The Mighty Regis - Them Bastards lyrics

rate me

Born in the church near a town with no religion<br />

I asked them for the man they say he ain't been here in years<br />

Lived the life of a soldier part hoodlum and a blackheart<br />

Saw the hurting I had done choked back my fucking tears<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

Someone take me from this road<br />

The snake-filled path I can't escape<br />

Listen to the signs or so I'm told<br />

And leave the bastards in your wake<br />

<br />

For my part no reward I look the wicked dead in the eyes<br />

Courage stares them down I run but still ain't left this place<br />

Truth will often miss to words angered that I can't fight the world<br />

Not a saint a novice sinner maybe this time it's not a race<br />

<br />

My shoulders are crooked flogged my back with misfortune<br />

It's no one's bloody fault look for the villain am I stone blind<br />

Lighting strikes here not there the pain you can't help but smile<br />

I wear no goddamn crown so why the tired heavy mind<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

Walk with jokers helped out thieves wasted time on redemption<br />

Confessed all that I done but misdemeanors don't weigh much<br />

Being bad at doing good the struggle I'm battling shadow<br />

Try to talk and fool myself but I've lost my lying tough<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

Go to the river to clean look down at the man in the water<br />

What happened to that child did I lose him along my way<br />

Stand and know my task the second road it won't be easy<br />

Know that light will follow dark that's all there's left to say<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

And leave the bastards in your wake<br />

And leave the bastards in your wake<br />

<br />
