Never happy never pleased

maybe not what you forsee

These cats don't know what's up

Passively observing it all

Put you up on a pedestal

Try to make you larger than life

But how can you be down

With your head high in the sky



Stand my ground

Won't back down



Keep my integrity

Never compromise

Say what I believe

Won't be pacified



Stand my ground

Won't back down



Yes we've been around

Sound surrounding is sick

Staying underground

Not on an ego trip



No we won't pay to play

It puts no food on the table

Except the old promoter

It buys him a billiard table

All these people sucking blood

It's a wonder we don't run dry

But music's in our blood

It's not like they don't try



Stand my ground

Won't back down



Keep my integrity

Never compromise

Say what I believe

Won't be pacified



Stand my ground

Won't back down



Yes we've been around

Sound surrounding is sick

Staying underground

Not on an ego trip



Woman here no money there

But she said she's help me out

I better get some cash some day

Of that I have my doubts

Make me sick make me cry

If you con't compromise

But we have our beliefs

And our pride so realize
