Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards Lyrics

well in the steam of the man hole cities slum
In the impoverished urban areas filled with steam rising from the manholes,

like a ghost it takes form in the sludge and the scum
the 1% biker gang appears as a ghostly presence amidst the dirt and filth of the city

well Jose knew him but not for very long
Jose was acquainted with a gang member, but not for an extended time.

you know the mexican kid well we all called him John
this Mexican boy was known to all with an Americanized name of John

he was cut down quickly his legs wouldn't run
the boy known as John was shot down and unable to escape

you see it all came down to big danny's gun
the reason behind John's death was the weapon owned by a man called Big Danny

he was a devil to most but an angel to some
Big Danny was a wicked person, yet some adored him

he ruled his block with a gangload of men
he controlled his area with a posse of fellow gang members

[Chorus] x2 'Cause I'm a Generation terrorist And when I shoot, you know I never miss And this is my life, my way I can't resist I'll scrap you out if you're on my list
The singer identifies as a member of the generation promoting terrorism, admitting to the deadly consequences of his shooting and the resistance to change his ways. Threatens to harm those who make it onto his hit list.

swastika tattooed on his head
Big Danny had a Swastika tattoo on his forehead

at the age of 24 he ate a bullet in bed
Big Danny committed suicide at twenty-four by shooting himself in bed

well big danny cleaned up the mess that he left
Danny's teammates cleaned up the aftermath of his suicide

as he explained it to me well he wept and he wept
Danny described the incident tearfully

he said ' IT DONT MAKE NO FUCKIN' SENSE!'
Expressing his sorrow, Danny claimed the situation made no sense

he told me ' little lars' keep it under your breath
Danny warned Lars to keep the details a secret

revenge was coming from the tip of his tongue i guess it was served when jose didnt run
Danny had vowed revenge and executed it when Jose failed to escape

coz im a [Chorus x2] [Solo] [Chorus x2] [Solo]
Repeating the earlier chorus twice, the singer confirms his terrorist affiliation. They then play a solo before repeating the chorus again.

well i was 11 years old there was a knock at my door there was some trouble in my manor its outta control
When the singer was eleven, someone knocked on their door to inform them of a disturbance in their neighborhood.

well big dannys handcuffed hes on the floor yeh he told me to run and he told me to bolt
Big Danny was on the floor in handcuffs, but he instructed the singer to flee

as my mother cried you know my father lied well big danny was there he was at my side
As the singer's mother cried, the father lied about their situation. Big Danny, however, was there supporting the singer

he taught me how to love he taught me how to be free YEH FREE
