No Remorse
After the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lock up your feelings, it's already began.
Make way, for the authority.
In search of us the minority.
They show no remorse.
They show no remorse.
The boys in blue, are knocking on my door.
Don't like the package that comes with the cause.
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
And just turn around.
We must stand our ground.
Don't change the way.
Result remains the same.
And just wipe the fear, from your brow.
There's no such thing as throwing in the towel.
Wipe the fear, from your brow.
There's no such thing
The boys in blue, are knocking on my door.
Don't want us rocking out here no more.
Don't like the package that comes with the cause.
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
Did you think we'd leave without a fuss?
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
And now I've seen you're just like us.
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
Did you think we'd leave without a fuss?
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
The boys in blue, are knocking on my door.
Don't want us rocking out here no more.
Don't like the package that comes with the cause.
I'll get mine and I'll get yours.
