To the Top
Krokus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make life easy
They keep painting their fingers at me
Just to terse me
Oh my hands are tied
And I'm up to my ears in work
I've been comin' and join'
Don't know which stake I'm in
I don't give to damn you know it honey
They'll never break me
My mind is one thing with my body
Come on and please me
When my work is done
Then I'm gonna go lie in the sun
Show those sons of bitches
That I don't need a gun
And I'm on my way
To the Top .. Hit it five it go
Blood and corruption it's not my way of life
No easy way out
Death and destruction can never kill my drive
There's my doubt
Oh many have suffered in this world
Only a few survive
As long as you stick to your guns
In this life
Ain't nobody gonna put you away
To the Top .. Hit it five it go
To the Top .. Hit it five it go

I've tryin' my beat you know it honey
I have been doing my best, my dear
To make life easy
To make life simpler and more manageable
They keep painting their fingers at me
They keep pointing their fingers at me
Just to terse me
Just to frustrate me
Oh my hands are tied
I am helpless
And I'm up to my ears in work
I am extremely busy
I've been comin' and join'
I have been participating and contributing
Don't know which stake I'm in
I am unsure about my position
Like a son of a jerk ... To the Top
In spite of feeling uncertain, I will strive to succeed
I don't give to damn you know it honey
I do not care, my dear
They'll never break me
They will never defeat me
My mind is one thing with my body
My mind and body are unified
Come on and please me
Make me feel good
When my work is done
After I have completed my duties
Then I'm gonna go lie in the sun
Then I will relax in the sun
Show those sons of bitches
Prove those difficult people wrong
That I don't need a gun
That I do not require weapons
And I'm on my way
And I am making progress
To the Top .. Hit it five it go
I am moving toward my goals and achieving success
Blood and corruption it's not my way of life
I do not condone or engage in violence and immorality
No easy way out
There is no simple solution
Death and destruction can never kill my drive
Even in the face of adversity, I will remain determined
There's my doubt
That is my uncertainty
Oh many have suffered in this world
Many people have experienced hardship
Only a few survive
Only a handful are able to endure
As long as you stick to your guns
As long as you remain steadfast
In this life
In this existence
Ain't nobody gonna put you away
Nobody will stop you

The best band to ever grace us with it's presence! I'm only 18, yet this and AC/DC are my favourites. We need music like this.

Excelente som,violento,harmonioso,limpo e sujo ao mesmo tempo.Tudo na medida,o Rock'n'roll é mágico,o problema somos nós que ás vezes não saimos do eixo Eua-Reino Unido. Krokus é demais.

This is one of those songs that can’t be played too loud. In fact, the louder it gets the better it gets.
