This one's for the trolls. This is what you get when you've been on a steady recent diet of Frank Turner and Arctic Monkeys. Strangely enough, another rush job that I'm actually kind of OK with.

lyrics

who are you people?
where are you from?
I don’t remember you at all
this ain’t the party
I signed up for
here, with our backs against the wall

because the ones who have the least to say
they say it loud as guns
and the ones who have the most to lose
they always are the ones
that have enough to do without just sitting
‘round and talking smack
and god forbid that you should ever
hear ‘em talking back

‘cause you’ve shown your hand
and you’ve shown your mettle
you’ve slammed your foot
on the wrong damn pedal
you’ve had your chance
for a sympathetic stance
the words you wrote just made you drunker
the shots you fire behind the bunker

you keep your distance
the world at bay
you make it easier to say
that you’ve got yours, Jack
and I’ve got some nerve
we always get what we deserve

I’m all for devil’s advocate
and working through the scrum
but there’s time for talk and time to cut the crap,
stop playing dumb
‘cause you love to get ‘em riled up
and you love to lead the charge
but once the torches all get lit
it’s your integrity at large

‘cause you’ve shown your hand
and you’ve shown your mettle
you’ve slammed your foot
on the wrong damn pedal
you’ve had your chance
for a sympathetic stance
the words you wrote just made you drunker
the shots you fire behind the bunker
