Lamb of God Lyrics for Song: Boot Scraper
 Lyrics for Album: As The Palaces Burn [2003]
 
 
 
 38414>Watch the broken common man
 
 Drown his sorrows at unhappy hour
 
 Dirty and sweaty with just enough to get by
 
 
 
 Calluses on his hands, calluses on his soul
 
 Hard-boiled, son of a bitch
 
 Scraping away on the down hill grind
 
 
 
 It's a means to an end, a mean end for most
 
 Death and domestication ends in shattered hopes
 
 Can't see the hand at the other end of the leash
 
 
 
 Turn and bite, turn and bite the hand that bleeds you dry
 
 Throw yourself a bone, no one else will
 
 Compromise leads to self-loathing
 
 Money the excrement of labor
 
 
 
 And you don't get to keep shit
 
 Except politics and power trips
 
 And a bad breath down your neck
 
 
 
 I know for I have toiled in the halls of the mighty
 
 And not received a teardrop in a bucket
 
 Motherfuck it
 
 
 
 The world doesn't owe me a thing
 
 But you do, motherfucker
 
 The world doesn't owe me a thing
 
 But you do, motherfucker
 
 
 
 So crooked when you die
 
 They're gonna have to screw your ass
 
 Into the ground
 
 
 
 As life slowly unravels with nothing to show
 
 But your wasted time and dust
 
 A thousand points of lies falling
 
 On the deafened funeral eardrums of the blind masses
 
 
 
 Rise above, extract your life
 
 Will you look within then turn around and bite?
 
 Day by day the mask suffocates your life
 
 Is this any way to live? No fucking way
