The Flex - Wild Stabs In The Dark Lyrics
1. Intro
(instrumental)
2. Wild Stabs In The Dark
not in it for the scene cred
playing music with my friends
doing this all we know
when there's a show we got to go
take a, wild
it's not about being accepted
don't be scared of being rejected
do this for as long as we can
put me back in the van
take a, wild
wild stabs in the dark
3. Under The Knife
gotta get a job, gotta grow up
society's pressure builds
do what you're told
left in the dark
cast aside
directionless, meaningless
where do you turn?
dead end roads, no potential
same old shit, day after day
another faceless name, that's all you are
pointless, futile, never go far
a 9-5
just to survive
an unfulfilled life
under the knife
office space is the safest place
used and abused, can't you see?
restricted by the needs of the few
locked in by society's view
under the knife
4. Bloodsucker
line your pockets, under this guise
helping the scene, name your price
you're sucking the life
just to leave it behind
just one part, of your big plan
used as a stepping stone, it was clear all along
ea smash and grab, then you'll be gone
seen it before, seen it again
fuck your enterprise, you'll never win
5. The New Blood
always have something to say
but never give the time of day
put in the effort, where are you?
looking down is all you do
claimed we're ruining the scene
looked around, where have you been?
jaded if you can't have your way
get used to it, we're here to stay
turn up your nose
at everything we do
put on the shows
just scared of something new
you alienate, we'll do this alone
see what you're missing
crawl out the woodwork
list of excuses
we don't want you back
you alienate yourself, we'll do this alone
going our own way, united as one
going our own way, can't be out done
fighting the odds, we'll still be here
keep on talking, nobody can hear
6. Left To Die
praying on the weak
advantage of the poor
giving false hope
for their own cause
a glimmer of change
a system of lies
regurgitated shit
next one in line
abusing their power
any means they can
take away your freedom
can't fight back
exploited, demoralized, sterilized
scared and alone, left to die
a pointless conflict, wonder why?
actions through ulterior motives
nothing new, part of the game
corruption pools at their feet
show compassion they wouldn't dare
sentenced, betrayed
7. The Herd
style over substance
diluted shit
heard it all before
changing facade
to follow the trend
who is it for?
opinions of others
held in regard
scared to be yourself
follow the sheep
for a sense of self-worth
time for you to decided
8. Blind Eye
a vile culture
so far removed
met with acceptance
a warped attitude
displaying its ignorance
for all to see
but it's seen as fitting in
not to me
condoning the worst
a regression
media promotion
blights the progress
misogyny and stereotypes
becomes the norm
a moral dilemma
have to choose
peer pressure building
what you gotta lose?
condoning the worst
a regression
unseen, oblivious to all
speak up, it's your call
you can't see
what you do
perpetuating
disgusting views
9. Waste My Time
always seeking approval
get a grip
attention your primary purpose
ego trip
mockery of yourself
and the music
you'll be the first to go
sure of it
waste my time, tell me it's right
the aesthetic
your presence so well thought out
bullshit pretense
uncovered from the start
your time here
it won't leave a mark
tried so hard
but were never a part
waste my time, tell me it's right
waste my time, tell me it's right
everything you say
everything you do
you're so predictable
it comes back to you
not anymore
it's gotta stop
the clock has run down
show you the door
10. W.D.N.Y.
doubted from the start, wrote us off
beaten down, overlooked, called a farce
relentless, we're still here, going strong
pissed, dismissed, you're proven wrong
we're the flex
we don't care
who you know
we don't need you
we're the flex
we don't care
what you say
we don't need you
leeds lads, imitated, not replicated
every gig, we're out in force, numbers show
big city days, on the loose, watch your back
listen up, here's a message, from the ls wolfpack
11. Bad Faith
autonomous beings, trapped inside, cyclic existence
take your title, play the part, meet what's expected
assume the role, of what you are, never question
a conscious effort, pursue a goal, to meet a target
appease the other, limitation, self-inflicted
feel the gaze, take you over, life restricted
bad faith, know your place
anxiety builds, a constant relation, with the worker
nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, persistent judgement
obligated, there is one thing, you need to know
fail to realize, own position, free to go
bad faith, know your place
