I've talked the talk, I've walked the walk,
it's taken ten [bad word] years for them to see I don't need their approval,
I've paid the piper,
I've stayed my course,
lived chomping at the bit with only blood, sweat and tears to adhere.

open your eyes and see that it's so menacing, 
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury, 
give until there's nothing left, 
value in every breathe,
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.

Take it for granted,
forsake the cost?
we're a big [bad word] eating crowd.
With only blood, sweat and tears to adhere too
Not there, to burn at the chase, you're a pig,
and you think that [bad word] hurts
So they can see, I don't need their approval.

open your eyes and see that it's so menacing,
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury, 
give until there's nothing left,
value in every breathe,
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.

Every day
Take your beatings
lead the way or decay away as you fall down!
YOU FALL DOWN!

BRIDGE

open your eyes and see that it's so menacing, 
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury, 
give until there's nothing left, 
value in every breathe, 
you need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.
