I've been away from home
Was out of sight
No other change has come
Who let the boredom in?

We got our rocking rights
We'll overcome
The mirror never lies
We'll show 'em how it's done

We always dressed in black
To be unkind
We always dressed in black
With you in mind

It's the way of life we live 
You know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in 
We are not strong

We never will deceive
Take no double-talk
And all the fat cats bull
Don't like the way we walk

They spit behind our backs
Unwelcomed class
But it's way down deep
They wanna be like us

We always dressed in black
To be unkind
We always dressed in black
With you in mind

It's the way of life we live 
You know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in 
And we are not wrong

'Cause it's the way of life we live 
You know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in 
We are the strong

We always dressed in black
To be unkind
We always dressed in black
With you in mind

It's the way of life we live 
You know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in 
And we are not wrong

'Cause it's the way of life we live 
You know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in 
We are the strong
