lyrics

The Strife
(Lyrics by Chewy Marzolo.)

They will tell you that you're urgently needed in the back of the line,
Remiss politicians dismiss that you're a gull in the grind,
They will tell you that they need you,
Turn around and bleed you,
Bleed-You-Dry,
But you know they're wrong,
Their song's been wrong all along-

They will tell you that your destiny is vested in the wrest of their grift,
Destination is obligation to be certain and swift,
Refuse to be abused,
You got nothing to lose,
Knock-Them-Down with all you've got-

'Cause you know when you're that far down,
You've got to fight,
Turn it around,
Don't let fools bought and sold,
Hold control-


You just needed the strife, to sing your song,
To let go of that piece of your soul held down for so long,
Tell me, do you think they really know their right from their wrong?
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along,
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along-

They will tell you their convictions are auspicious to society's game,
Then frame the blame and the shame on the backs of the tame,
Their game is avaricious,
Heartless and vicious,
Drag you down,
But you're not their clown,

'Cause you know when you're that far down,
You've got to fight,
Turn it around,
Don't let fools bought and sold,
Hold control-

You just needed the strife, to sing your song,
To let go of that piece of your soul that been held down for so long,
Tell me, do you think they really know their right from their wrong?
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along,
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along-

Well, you know that when the game is over you've got to turn it around,
You'll forget all convictions and society's restrictions that brought you down,
Their game is avaricious and heartless and vicious
But don't let it drag you down,
Cause you know how far down you can go when you turn it around-

You just needed the strife, to sing your song,
To let go of that piece of your soul that been held down for so long,
Tell me, do you think they really know their rights from their wrongs?
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along,
You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along,
You will find that song in your heart's been right all along,
You will find that song in your heart's been right all along.
