The Ballad of Buck Ravers by SAMURAI (Refused)
[Intro]
:(Instrumental)
[Verse 1]
:Lost another day
:To pointless drudgery
:The slow chippin' away
:Of my autonomy
:A rodent in a race
:Unsung and underpaid
:My colleagues seem to me
:Like slaves in sheep-array
[Verse 2]
:Then a shock goes through the herd!
:At the nauseating purr!
:Of the corpos of the world!
:When the content is secured!
:'Cause they're naked emperors!
:Hear the rattling of the purse!
:I hunger for the hearse!
:'Cause nothing could be worse!
:Than a life lived as a limb!
:In a debt anatomy!
:Rather be dead than a link!
:In a chain of tyranny!
[Refrain]
:Need a way to set it straight!
:Need to go out on the edge!
:Need to rage and get revenge!
:Need to feel myself again!
[Pre-Chorus]
:(Instrumental)
[Chorus]
:Suit up! Punch in!
:Punch out! Non stop!
:Suit up! Punch in!
:Punch out! Get fucked!
[Verse 3]
:Pressured to mount
:The backs of my brothers
:Clamber for clout
:Year after year
:The load multiplies
:Up high on the ladder
:The bottom falls out
:Then so does the fear
[Bridge]
:I've had - enough!
:I've done - enough!
:Here comes - revenge!
:Here comes - the end!
[Verse 4]
:Blood spatter in my face!
:Dead suits in my way!
:Bullets piercing me!
:Mama here comes liberty!
[Refrain]
:Need a way to set it straight!
:Need to go out on the edge!
:Need to rage and get revenge!
:Need to feel myself again, instead of
[Pre-Chorus]
:(Instrumental)
[Chorus]
:Suit up! Punch in!
:Punch out! Non stop!
:Suit up! Punch in!
:Punch out! Get fucked!
[Verse 5]
:Don't know how I began
:But I was once a decent man
:The promises I was made
:Were made to keep me a slave
:Cornered and kept on a wage
:To come the worst of my rage
:One day the curtain falls
[Bridge]
:Time comes for all!
:Time comes for all! (Now you gonna feel it!)
:Time comes for all! (Now you gonna feel it!)
:Time comes for all! (Now you gonna feel it!)
[Riff]
:(Instrumental - guitar solo)
[Outro]
:I've had - enough!
:I've done - enough!
:Here comes - revenge!
:Here comes - the end!
