The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I don't care for this world anymore I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores What was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on edge it makes feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong, It's reality Killing so we survive Wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide We've got to get away I don't want existence to end We must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong We don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal the power you can feel And feeling so high on this much adrenalin Excited but scary to believe what we've become Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies
