Machine Head - Bastards
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, I told my sons
"Sometimes, the bad guys win"
And that it made me scared
About the world that we live in
But I had to reassure them
That it wouldn't be for long
"Sons, we have to be ourselves
We have to be strong"
I said, "Boys you are the future
So, let this be a lesson
There may come a day
You have to fight off their aggression"
'Cause fear and hatred won today
The darkness ate the light
But both of you look in my eyes
It'll be all right
In every step you take
I'm with you all the way
'Cause I would die for you
To do what's right for you
In hopes that when I'm gone
You'll carry on
These words I wrote for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Till then... I'll sing
[Chorus]
"Stand your ground
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Be bold, be strange
Don't let their fears make you afraid
There's hope they'll change"
[Verse 2]
Well, I looked out to the world today
Thought, "What a bloody mess!"
They stripped our morals from us
Put 'em under house arrest
And "liberty" and "country"
Are the words they need to speak
A little "God," a little "freedom"
If we don't agree, we're weak
And every politician stood there
Idle and so smug
Empowering the racists
And Second Amendment thugs
Wall Street and the billionaires
Convinced us they're so smart
Saying, "Vote with your wallet
Instead of with your hearts!"
But we won't go away!
You won't forget our name!
The pussy generation
The PC and the brave
The protesters that slink along
The streets of misery
[Pre-Chorus]
And so... I'll sing
[Chorus]
"Stand your ground
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Be bold, be strange
Don't let their fears make you afraid
There's hope they'll change
We'll change
Change"
[Bridge]
No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)
No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)
No, no, no, no, no (Fuck, no!)
[Verse 3]
So, give us all your faggots
And your niggas, and your spics
Give us all your Muslims
The so-called terrorists
We'll welcome 'em with open arms
And put 'em in our mix
We're better off together now
Embrace our difference
Remember there is love!
Our words can stop their guns
Forget the rednecks
Living in the past
We're never going back now
We've reached critical mass
[Pre-Chorus]
And so... I'll sing
[Chorus]

Won't let the bastards grind me down
I'm bold, I'm strange
Won't let their fears make me afraid
