lyrics

Ballad Of The Bastard

You pick on people who spend their lives,
Grinding out a 9 to 5.
Living on the breadline,
Waiting for your deadline.
And you’re never gonna give (You’re never gonna give) x4

And every chance they give you,
They thought you were their friend.
Every choice you take from them,
I won’t let you win again.

Sitting on your backside,
Thinking she’ll just let things slide.
Sponging off your girlfriend,
Sponging off whoever will provide.
And you’re never gonna give (You’re never gonna give) x4

And every chance I gave you,
She thought you were my friend.
Every chance you took from me,
I won’t let you win again.

I went and gave you everything,
Roof over your head and a bed to lay in.
You screwed me over and I won’t forget,
So I kicked you out with no regret.
And you’re never gonna give (You’re never gonna give) x4

And you’re never gonna live (You’re never gonna win) x4
