Born Again Idiot Lyrics by Anthrax

Volume 8: The Threat Is Real

1998

[Verse 1]
Why do I explain myself when everyone's an idiot but me?
I think some people need, I think some people need
Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Pre-Chorus]
Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life
Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life
Like ten pounds of sin in a nine pound bag
Still I come back to give you something that you never had

[Chorus]
Idiot rules, I never fight I only win
Idiot rules, idiot rules
Idiot rules and I didn't make them
Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them

[Verse 2]
Finish my smoke, down my drink
Wipe my mouth and I just walk away
I think some people need, I think some people need
Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Pre-Chorus]
Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life
Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life
Like ten pounds of sin in a nine pound bag
Still I come back to give you something that you never had

[Chorus]
Idiot rules, I never fight I only win
Idiot rules, idiot rules
Idiot rules and I didn't make them
Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them

[Bridge]
What's the chance of finding something real and make it last?
For that I'd carry all my bags and leave them in the past
Because I spend my life fixing mistakes that left me scarred
And when I stand and meet my maker I'll be born again hard

[Guitar Solo: Dimebag Darrell]

[Verse 1]
Why do I explain myself when everyone's an idiot but me?
I think some people need, I think some people need
Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Chorus]
Idiot rules, I never fight I only win
Idiot rules, idiot rules
Idiot rules and I didn't make them
Idiot rules, idiot rules
Idiot rules, I never fight I only win
Idiot rules, idiot rules
Idiot rules, don't judge me by my sins
Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them
