C.O.T.C. Lyrics by Ballista

C.O.T.C.

2020

"Wrestlemania III at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan: it's a day that I'm certain my guest at this time will not forget. I'm talking about the former Intercontinental Champion of the World, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage..."
"Nothing means nothing! Nothing means nothing."
"Nothing means nothing? What do you mean by that?"
"I'm talking about all the way to the top, yeah! Unjustifiably in a position that I'd rather not be in, but the cream will rise to the top!"

Nothing means nothing and your words are just words
Your actions sound like thunder, that's a lesson never learned
After everything I've done I havе nothing left to say
You're not stepping on my toеs, you're in my fucking way

You're in my way

Leave the past in the past, cut the fat
Eyes focused on tomorrow, following the sun west
Stricken down in my path
Pulled down and pushed back

Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
Nothing to bleed

Cut free from the noose
Nothing to lose
No pain to feed
I've got nothing left to bleed

I wear a mask of scar tissue
Everyday it eats into my face
Overcome my pain
Severing my chains

On balance
Off balance
I won't lose my malice

Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars
C.O.T.C. til I D I E

I still atone
Suffer my fate encased in stone
C.O.T.C. til I D I E

"And I am the cream. I am the cream, yeah. On balance, off balance, doesn't matter. I'm better than you are, yeah. And nothing is gonna stop me! Nothing's gonna stop me. The cream of the crop! Nobody does it better!"
