It feels like I only go backwards babyEvery part of me says "go ahead"I got my hopes up again, oh no... not againFeels like we only go backwards darlingAnd we'll be screaming out "No Rules, No Rules"Feel the energy we go through, I told youPump my fist like I'm supposed to, I showed youMy vision of the unsocial, is so coolLook around me and just see the same, who to blame?See my generation has no shame, I play the gameHow I see it this is inside the future, this is nothing that you're used toI refuse to play the victim my religion is to move youOut your power position my army head on collisionCant harm me out of my own skin, government need assistanceEvery time that I zone inNothing is more convincing than telling you that I won't bendBreak or fake partitionI can't, this is my life designThis is me taking mines, this is what I live forThis is me taking yours, this is more than c4This is what happens when we're ready to build and destroyI hope that you enjoyIt feels like I only go backwards babyEvery part of me says "go ahead"I got my hopes up again, oh no... not againFeels like we only go backwards darlingI live my life a rebel, a vigilante, Devils try to get at mePedal through this underworld undertakers won't catch meSystem make no sense don't feel justice if you would ask meI'll tell you everything is corrupted don't you walk passed meWith the condescending look I can tell you're pretendingLike you my friends and you just a henchman I feel relentlessI feel the tension in the air thick enough to cut through itOr cut you with it I come from a glove that breed a nuisanceTrespass on your property I am properly aiming to go and get your democracyThis is me changing faces cuz I can stand alone and die alone as long as I got prideThe victory and fight is all in my eyesThe night is young and I can see your demiseI'm waiting for itYou can't ignore it you live dormantI die enormousBig as the lies you tell I can tell that you feel defeatedThe truth will set you free and to me that's the only reasonCapisceIt feels like I only go backwards babyEvery part of me says "go ahead"I got my hopes up again, oh no... not againFeels like we only go backwards darling
