Gauntlet - ... Makes Us Stronger songtekst
Je score:
Overwhelming pile of doubts ‘round my head Barbed-wire scarf too tight on my neck Running barefoot in a field of broken glass Along the coldest river I swim against the tide Working hard, the best I can, but that is not enough Eaten up with anger and things you can't control Everything is telling me I'm in the wrong direction But I'm not like the ones who yield to awkward situations Clench your fist and show your teeth We won't give in, we still resist You hit us once... you hit us twice We can bleed, but we don't change our minds If you're going through hell, just keep going What doesn't kill us... makes us stronger! I can hear the children of the fascists Instructing me in democracy On the other side, betrayers selling out They stole our parents' dreams You so-called our politics, you're not representing me Wasting all our time discussing ‘bout frontiers Hard times for everyone but it could be even worse Lucky to be born in the First-fucking-World The same ol' shit on my TV Hypocrisy it's all I see You hit us once... you hit us twice We can bleed, but we don't change our minds You should know, as we get older What doesn't kill us... makes us stronger! Sometimes you don't know where you are Caught in the middle of your life You hold your breath with all your might Under a storm of sharpened knives You hit us once... you hit us twice We can bleed, but we don't change our minds My hopes and bones are almost broken What doesn't kill us... Makes us stronger!
