Lyrics
Well I am just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope (Verse 1)
I've panhandled for life
Because I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regrets
Better swallow your pride
Before you choke on it
Better digest your values
Because they turn to shit (Chorus)
Honour's gonna knock you down
Before your chance
To stand up and fight
Well I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or bullet in my face
To hell with unity (Verse 2)
Separation'll kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall
(Chorus)
(Intro)
(Chorus)
I got no pride
