A peculiar bunch us runts of the runts. Some work 'til the grave, some expect free lunch. Rockin' the bottom of the tax bracket. Gaspin' while we're graspin' at it. Hangin' on for dear lives, hopin' your dear wife's eyelids ain't too heavy after work tonight.
And you'll never catch me poutin' in a puddle of my own tears. Loyal to my country it's the government I fear. I bet they thought we forgot how to say, "Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere." Hahahaha.
We're workin' for our families. Workin' for a favor. Paid off your whole mortage and never met your next door neighbor. There's no slackin' 'til we can't hack it actin' drastic like it's automatic. It's hell to see strangers ignore others' cries for help. Imagine all us ants all fightin' for ourselves.
And you'll never catch me poutin' in a puddle of my own tears. Loyal to my country it's the government I fear. I bet they thought we forgot how to say, "Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere."
There's children that are hungry in every fuckin' country. Ain't never been held, just left lonely and unhealthy. There's terrorists in turbans, terrorists in suits. I don't care what you believe, get those kids some god damned food. But what do I know? There's probably more important things to do.
And you'll never catch me poutin' in a puddle of my own tears. Loyal to my country it's the government I fear. I bet they thought we forgot how to say, "Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere." Hahahahah.
