Waste Management - Tried and True Lyrics
1. Tried and True
independent from your fuckin rules
blind leading the blind
you're carbon copy fools
living hardcore, we don't need your scene
hang around, we'll show you what we mean
it's all we know - it's all we do
it's all for us - not for you
watch out cause we're coming through
tried and true
2. Swindle
coast through life with that fucking grin
no respect for those who put work in
all it takes is your honest word
scream at you but no voice is heard
you don't tell the truth
and you can't play it straight
you lie to yourself
what the fuck is wrong with you?
can't understand and you don't ask why
yes me to death but it's a total lie
promise me this, promise me that
no respect you fuckin rat
let's go
why can't you just play it straight?
i don't have time for these games
can't even look me in the eye
your actions will catch up with you
3. Progression
for years you've hidden from the truth
now it's time to do what a man must do
grab hold and do it fuckin quick
or life's jaws will lock in their grip
hold back for years
controlled by your fears
kept from the truth
it's time to find a better life
this world will swallow you right up
don't give in unless you've had enough
you're the one who can make things right
you've got a choice and now it's time to fight
4. Fight Through Your Fear
in life there will be times
that'll make you feel
like you're losing your mind
forces from outside you can't control
it's live or die and you don't know why
you must confront what stands in your way
or else it'll win and you will pay
seems like there is no chance
and you can't survive but you've gotta try
and win this fight
fight through your fear!
5. The Reaper
death comes for us all
it's the only absolute
be wise with your choices
before your lifetime's through
find your strength - fight 'til death
give it all - or you'll regret
the reaper's here
he's come for you
it won't be long
'til your soul's due
the deck is stacked against you
everywhere you turn
sure enough when fate shows up
your body's gonna burn
6. Separation
i choose to live free
drugs, drink, not for me
look down at what i do?
i'll never be like you
life is hard, there will be pain
no chains can bind my brain
7. Face the Fire
how can this be?
why am i here?
i've come so far
now it's gone dark
stand up tall and fight em all
face the fire face the fire
find the path and clear it fast
face the fire face the fire
look ahead and ignore the past
face the fire face the fire
be the first and not the last
attacks from all sides
no end in sight
constant distress
burst from within
strength from your mind
can tear down the walls
what stands in your way
must be laid to waste
8. Implosion
the wheels are coming off
and there's nowhere to turn
everything around me just continues to burn
doors are slamming shut
and the light is fading fast
all i've got left is my mind while it lasts
today's disappointments are tomorrow's disbelief
seems like there will never be
an end to all this grief
pain has turned to numbness
but i'm still standing strong
the sun will rise again one day
i swear it can't be long
can't run, can't hide
must fight
9. Solution
if you want it done right
you're gonna have to fuckin fight
if you want to win life
you're gonna have to pay the price
10. Shortsighted
don't force your fuckin rules on me
there's nothing wrong with who i am
or who i want to fuckin be
just try to see it from the other side
different styles and different lives
all trying to survive
i'm sick of the way things are going these days
people attack people because they're not the same
open your minds and stretch out your hands
show them the way and teach them how to care
the scene is here for you and its here for me
"united and strong" "stand as one"
is it what you really fuckin mean?
they'll never try to see things your way
if all you're gonna do is push them away
