Pretenders - Fire From The Gods

It’s time to go all out

Heed these words coming out my mouth

I’ve held back for too long

I’ve been feinin' to get this off my chest

And say this out loud

False messenger, false prophet

You never suffered a day in your life

You know you need to stop it

You look good as a clone, man

Live your own life and don’t pretend

You don’t know what it’s like

To get beat down and shit on by life

I’ve seen it all before

Yes blood, I’ve been through war

Straight facts, no lies

The truth is in my hungry eyes

Let me tell you it’s not easy

You better believe me

This is real

Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes

You better believe me

'Cause this is real

Now this one goes out to the people who struggle through

The ones that fight the odds and break the mold

And put it all on the line just for survival

'Cause you know what it’s like

You’ve been through the same fight

You know what it is to face the end

But for all of you that try to pretend

You don’t know what it’s like

To get beat down and shit on by life

I’ve seen it all before

Yes blood, I’ve been through war

Straight facts, no lies

The truth is in my hungry eyes

Let me tell you, it’s not easy

You better believe me

This is real

Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes

You better believe me

'Cause this is real

Sing it with me if you know it’s real

Sing it with me if you feel it too

You better believe me

'Cause this is real

With our backs against the wall, we stand tall

With our backs against the wall, we stand tall

We will stand tall

With our backs against the wall, we stand tall

We will stand tall

Fucking hell, I’ve heard it over and over again

How you’ve been through the struggle

How you’ve been through the war

But we know that’s a lie my friend

Fall back with the hate that you’re spewing

Forgive him father, cause' he doesn’t know what he’s doing

Life’s about survival, and we’re survivors

So don’t act like you’re the only one

Let me tell you it’s not easy

You better believe me

This is real

Well I know, well I know it’s hard sometimes

You better believe me

'Cause this is real

Sing it with me if you know it’s real

If you’ve been there, been through the pain

Been through the hell, you know it’s real

Sing it with me if you feel it too

You better believe me cause this is real
