Anti​-​Hero

from The 6th Extinction by Tombstone da Deadman

lyrics

1st verse

Don't see me as that cookie cutter do-gooder you’re used to
I’m rough around the edges break the rules only to speak truth

and it’s never in the format that’s designed to make you comfortable
for those that's criticizing my methods I've had enough of you

I’m rocking no capes, no catch phrases or smiley faces
no tolerance for your ignorant statements and zero patience

for the bullshit that ya’ll stay with...so I attack it frequently
with no cut cards cause you frauds be lacking decency

in fact don’t even speak to me..i’m busy on my mission to make things
the way they need to be….. a vigilante secretly…

moving unseen and uninhibited unrestrained so I’m not limited
in the ways that justice is distributed

I watched the way you picketed...and stood outside marching with your little signs
wasting time but nothing changed or ended it

desperate times call for desperate measures if you not about it
They gonna shrug their shoulders no matter how loud you go and shout it

Chorus:
They can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)

But when I speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)

Sometimes the rules are weak
(because they help the wrong side)

So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero

2nd verse:
see this is how the problem starts……...the evil villains all at large
but get away with everything because the villains are in charge

and you get mad at me cause my language you feel is sub par
but somehow can’t get angry at people that keep you down huh?

it’s crazy cause the lazy ones will use this language everyday
but do it to a beat and watch them curse you for the things you say

censor all of your thoughts even if they feel the same way
or book you for a show but then get scared and say you can't play

my music is my anger manifested flowing constantly
and just because you’re NOT enraged it don’t mean something's wrong with me

it means that something’s wrong with you..or maybe everything is cool
and you don’t mind the things that’s going on cause you’re a fucking fool

I think you’re too accepting of the fuckery... shenanigans
so when I overturn the applecart you start the panicking

imagine if..men not scared of conflict starting vanishing
you wouldn’t fight to save your life you'd stand there like a manikin

Chorus:
They can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)

But when I speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)

Sometimes the rules are weak
(because they help the wrong side)

So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero

3rd verse:
now there's a time for conversation but there's a time for getting gritty
And shooting arrows to their face yelling "you have failed this city"

You can dance around these issues diplomatic you want to
but the villains not respecting that shit and they will stunt on you

spit a crazy monologue about how they’re above the law
because the world just needs to die and they’re the ones to do it all

while everything around you falls and you’re succumbing to your fear
the last thing that you hear is his laughter that’s ringing in your ears

fuck that I’m coming through blazing two gun gripping
Clip em put the bad guy in the ground all while he was ego tripping

then go out the fire escape and dash down the alleyway
while dodging the police helicopters that want to make me pay

ignoring all discussions bout tactics and repercussions
fuck em this the only justice I know because the system bluffing

and if you really knew what I know...you’d do the same thing
to every preaching, fake politician that tried to play king



Chorus:
They can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)

But when I speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)

Sometimes the rules are weak
(because they help the wrong side)

So fuck the good guys...i’d rather be an anti-hero
