lyrics

I’ll never be the common man/ I steel myself and take a stand/ Lunacy? / Well, it may be/ But my destiny is in my hands
I’ll make my way/ Through thieves and pimps/ I choose my way/ To chase the imp
Some say my decision’s bold/ And others say I’ve sold my soul/ Dance with the devil/ Take my shot/ Won’t stop kicking ‘til I reach my goal
Living on the edge/ I’ve learned to risk it all/ If I can’t make it to the top/ I’ll learn to enjoy the fall
Some say it can never be/ But I’ve learned the one way to be free/ I’ll give my life/ To save my life/ There’s only one way out for me
I put it on a sucker bet/ Ignominy? Well, no regrets/ I bleed the set/ With pain and sweat/ “Sorry son, you’re not there yet”
