Badge Of Pride

(album: Straight Ahead - 1999)

All the bullshit that I see
so much I can't believe
grown man just trying to be true to myself impossibly
I may not ever get rich might wind up digging a ditch
I won't cry no I won't bitch
I wont back down and I'll never quit
It is my badge of pride -hardcore 'til the day I die
just trying to survive
I won't back down or apologize
Say what you wanna say
I'm not listening anyway
I'll believe what I wanna believe
true to myself
that's how it's gotta be.
All the methods that I use
all the things I use and abuse
it all leaves me confused
I've beer torn up, beat down and bruised
but somehow I was saved and I'm standing here today
Now I do things my own way cause I'm never going back again
