Song Lyrics

I've been away from home
Was outta sight
No other change has come
Who let the boredom in

We got our rockin' rights
We'll overcome
The mirror never lies
We'll show 'em how it's done

We always dress in black
To be unkind
We always dress in black
With you in mind

It's the way of life we live, you know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in, and we're not wrong
'cause it's the way of life we live, you know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in, we are the strong

We never will deceive
Take no double-talk
And all the fat cats bull
Don't like the way we walk

They spit behind our backs
Unwelcomed class
But it's way down deep
They want to be like us

We always dress in black,
It's the way of life we live,
Time is ticking by
For you life is such a lie
You clipped your wings to fly
You could have had it all, but!

Work nine to five
Finish fifty-five
Only born to die
You ever been alive?

We always dress in black,
It's the way of life we live,
