Bastards Lyrics - Machine Head

Yesterday I told my sons 

Sometimes the bad guys win 

And that it made me scared about the world that we live in 

But I had to reassure them that it wouldn't be for long 

Sons we have to be ourselves 

We have to be strong 

I said, Boys you are the future, so let this be a lesson 

There may come a day you have to fight off their aggression 

Cause fear and hatred won today, the darkness ate the light 

But both of you look in my eyes, it'll be all right 

In every step you take 

I'm with you all the way 

Cause I would die for you 

And do what's right for you 

In hopes that when I'm gone 

You'll carry on 

These words I wrote for you

'Til then... 

I'll sing 

Stand your ground 

Don't let the bastards grind you down 

Be bold, be strange 

Don't let their fears make you afraid 

There's hope 

They'll change 

Well I looked out to the world today, thought What a bloody mess! 

They stripped our morals from us, put 'em under house arrest 

Liberty and country are the words they need to speak 

A little God, a little freedom, if we don't agree we're weak 

And every politician stood there idle and so smug 

Empowering the racists and Second Amendment thugs 

Wall Street and the billionaires, convinced us they're so smart 

Screaming, Vote with your wallets, instead of with your hearts! 

But we won't go away! 

You won't forget our name! 

The pussy generation, the PC and the brave 

The protesters that slink along these streets of misery 

And so... 

I'll sing 

Stand your ground 

Don't let the bastards grind you down 

Be bold, be strange 

Don't let their fears make you afraid 

There's hope, we'll change 

We'll change 

We'll change 

No, no, no, no, no 

We say, No, no, no, no, no 

Fuck no! 

No, no, no, no, no 

Fuck no! 

So give us all your fuckers, all your niggas, and your spits 

Give us all your Muslims, the so-called terrorists 

We'll welcome 'em with open arms and put 'em in our mix 

We're better off together now, embrace our difference 

Remember there is love! 

Our words can stop their guns 

Forget the rednecks 

Living in the past 

We're never going back now, we've reached critical mass! 

And so... 

I'll sing 

Stand my ground 

Won't let the bastards grind me down 

I'm bold, I'm strange 

Won't let their fears make me afraid 

There's hope, they'll change
